Career

Youth and Varsity Cup rugby

He represented the Blue Bulls at various youth levels. In 2008[2] and 2009, he was named in the Blue Bulls Under-18 Craven Week squads.

After the 2009 tournament, he was also named in a S.A. Under-18 High Performance squad that played against their Namibian counterparts, with Schoeman scoring one of thirteen tries in a 93–10 demolition.[3]

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.

Schoeman made his first class debut for the Blue Bulls during the 2011 Currie Cup Premier Division, shortly after his return from the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship. He played off the bench in their match against the Natal Sharks in Durban.[7]

However, his next appearance only came during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition, when he started seven of their matches.
