He was included in the Blue Bulls U19 squad for the Under-19 Provincial Championships in 2009 and 2010, scoring two tries in fourteen starts in 2010.
In 2011, he was selected in the South Africa Under-20 side that competed at the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship in Italy. He started their pool matches against Scotland[4] and England,[5] as well as their 5th-placed play-off match against Fiji, helping his side to a 104–17 victory.[6]
Upon his return to domestic action, he played for the Blue Bulls U21 side in the 2011 and 2012 Under-21 Provincial Championships, making 22 starts in total.
He also played Varsity Cup rugby for the UP Tuks, making 25 appearances for them between 2011 and 2014.
