Lizo Gqoboka Biography

Lizo Gqoboka is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on March 24, 1990 in Tabankulu, South Africa. Lizo Pumzile Gqoboka, born (1990-03-24) 24 March 1990, is a South African professional rugby league player. He plays for the South Africa National Team, the Bulls of Super Rugby and Blue Bulls in Currie Cup. He is a prop.

He was originally named in the Southern Kings Super Rugby training team for the 2013 Super Rugby season. However, he was later released. He instead played Varsity Cup rugby for the NMMU Madibaz, where he appeared in three matches to help the university team reach the semi-finals. Gqoboka played six more times in the 2013 Vodacom Cup, helping them reach the quarter-finals. The Kings lost 31-13 against the Blue Bulls in quarter-finals. However, Gqoboka’s late attempts, including an injury-time try, helped them win 34-31 to reach semi- finals. They were defeated 39-13 by the Pumas.

His personal performances didn’t go unnoticed, however, as he earned an invitation to train with the Springboks in September 2014 alongside Nizaam Carr and Seabelo Senatla. He was once again invited to a Springbok training camp the following month.

With the Eastern Province Kings promoted to the 2014 Currie Cup Premier Division, Gqoboka made his first appearance in the Premier Division of this competition on 8 August 2014 when he was named in their run-on side for their opening match of the season against Western Province, which ended in a 16–35 defeat. Despite playing for an Eastern Province Kings side that performed poorly in the competition, he did weigh in with a try against the Blue Bulls to help earn his side a losing bonus point. He eventually made seven appearances in the competition as his side finished bottom of the log.

He was a part of 15 of the 16 matches in the 2013 Currie Cup First Division season. This season saw them reach the final for the fourth time. He played in their final against Nelspruit’s Pumas, but the Kings won the match 53-30.
