Damian de Allende is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with Western Province.[1] His usual position is either centre or wing.

Career

He made his first team debut for Western Province during the 2012 Vodacom Cup, in their game against Pampas XV.[2] He made a total of three appearances in that campaign, scoring one try.

He was then also included in the squad for the 2012 Currie Cup Premier Division.

In August 2013, he signed a contract that will see him remain at Western Province and the Stormers until 2015.[3]

De Allende represented the Ikey Tigers in the 2012 Varsity Cup.[1]

Representative rugby

In May 2014, De Allende was one of eight uncapped players that were called up to a Springbok training camp prior to the 2014 mid-year rugby union tests.[4] He was subsequently named in the final squad,[5] but suffered a medial knee ligament injury and had to withdraw from the squad.[6]

However, he was once again selected in the Springboks' next squad for the 2014 Rugby Championship[7] and was named in the starting line-up for their opening match of this competition against Argentina in Pretoria.[8]
