Damian de Allende is a South African rugby union player of mixed-race descent,[2][3][4] currently playing with the Stormers and Japanese Top League side Kintetsu Liners.[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.[5] 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.[6]

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.[7] He was subsequently named in the final squad,[8] but suffered a medial knee ligament injury and had to withdraw from the squad.[9]

However, he was once again selected in the Springboks' next squad for the 2014 Rugby Championship[10] and was named in the starting line-up for their opening match of this competition against Argentina in Pretoria.[11]

In 2015, he was selected in the starting XV of a South African side against the World XV for a game held on 11 July 2015.[12] He scored two tries in the game earning praise from the World XV and former Australian coach Robbie Deans who commented that "Damian has been playing remarkable rugby the whole year and he keeps doing the right things. He can add a new dimension to the Boks."[13]
