Kurt Lee Arendse stuns in debut game for the Sagamihara Dynaboars.
(The Post News)– Springbok star Kurt-Lee Arendse made a thrilling start to his stint with Sagamihara Dynaboars in Japan’s Rugby League One this weekend. The 28-year-old winger marked his debut with a jaw-dropping try, leaving fans buzzing.
Arendse, who recently joined the Dynaboars from the Vodacom Bulls, wasted no time making his presence felt. His try came after a smooth passing sequence, with Arendse showing his trademark speed to outrun defenders. A well-timed step left a final tackler grasping at air as he glided over the try line, securing a moment of brilliance that earned him player-of-the-match honors.
On a six-month contract, Arendse is embracing this new chapter. “Japan’s fast-paced game and hard fields suit my style perfectly,” he said ahead of his debut. He also expressed excitement about the cultural experience and the unique rugby environment, which contrasts with the traditional destinations for South African players like Europe.
Arendse now joins a league featuring several Springboks, including Faf de Klerk and Kwagga Smith. His debut has set a high bar, and the Dynaboars will undoubtedly look to him for more magic as they push for success this season. For Arendse, this is just the beginning of an exciting journey in Japan.
