Elric van vuuren
Elric van Vuuren is a former South African rugby union player that played Currie Cup and Vodacom Cup rugby for the Mighty Elephants, Border Bulldogs and SWD Eagles between 2006 and 2015. He also made two appearances for the Kings during the 2013 Super Rugby season. His regular position was full-back, centre or fly-half.
He was included in the Kings squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season. After an injury to SP Marais in the game against the Chiefs, he was selected as part of the Kings tour squad to Australasia and made two substitute appearances – against the Crusaders and the Hurricanes. However, he then lost his place to Shakes Soyizwapi and returned to the SWD Eagles, making three appearances for them in their 2013 Vodacom Cup season.
He retired from rugby union at the end of the 2015 season to take up a business opportunity in Port Elizabeth.
