The SWD Eagles have bolstered their ranks with two battle-hardened loanees ahead of the SA Cup kick-off in George.
According to Rapport, former Junior Boks lock Dylan de Leeuw and scrumhalf Tiaan Fourie have linked up with Heyneke Meyer’s troops, adding punch and pedigree to the squad.
De Leeuw, 24, is contracted to the Lions, while Fourie, 23, is on the Sharks’ books. Both arrive with valuable Vodacom URC and EPCR Challenge Cup experience and are expected to play key roles as SWD open their campaign against the Pumas on Friday.

De Leeuw has already featured in warm-up fixtures and brings a strong CV. The former Paul Roos pupil turned out for the Bulls in last year’s Currie Cup before moving to Johannesburg, and has also represented Italian outfit Zebre Parma. A former SA U20 representative, he shared a Junior Boks change room with some of the country’s brightest young talents.
Fourie, a Grey College old boy and SA Schools Sevens representative, has played for the Sharks in the Currie Cup, URC and in Europe.
