Rohan Janse van Rensburg

A powerful midfield operator, Rohan Janse van Rensburg has built a career on direct, physical ball-carrying and a forceful presence in defence. Born in South Africa in 1994, the inside centre rose to prominence in his homeland before taking his game to Europe, where he has featured in England's Premiership with Sale Sharks and earned international honours with the Springboks. Now plying his trade with Union Bordeaux Bègles in France's Top 14, he provides his side with gain-line momentum and a punishing defensive edge in the centres. Janse van Rensburg is the type of midfielder built to get a backline moving forward, using his size and strength to break the advantage line and create front-foot ball for those around him. Equally valued for his organisation in defence, he serves as both an impact ball-carrier and a physical enforcer, bringing a wealth of experience accumulated across several of the game's most competitive leagues to the Bordeaux midfield.
