Biography

Kurt-Lee Arendse is a small, lightning-quick wing and one of the most dangerous finishers in world rugby. Born in Paarl on 17 June 1996, he has played for the Bulls since 2020, winning their Player of the Year award three years in a row, and has also had a spell in Japan with the Mitsubishi Dynaboars.

He made his Test debut against Wales in 2022. At the 2023 World Cup he scored a try in the quarter-final win over France and started the final against New Zealand, which South Africa won.
