Watch: Springbok Arendse brutally runs straight through defender to score on Dynabours debut
Springbok star Kurt-Lee Arendse made his much awaited debut for Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars against Urayasu D-Rocks in the opening round of Japan Rugby League One.
The 28-year-old donned the No 15 jersey as the new fullback for the Dynabours and squared off against D-Rocks fullback Israel Folau.
He finished with 13 carries for 110 metres, beating nine defenders, including a special moment to remember with a try to cap off his first game as a Dynabour.
The Springbok finished a try in brutal style running straight through the last defender, reserve flyhalf Hikaru Tamura, in cover defence. The power bump off was surprising from the hot-stepping international wing.
Arendse’s try helped the Dynabours to a strong 31-19 win over the newly-promoted D-Rocks to get their season off to a flying start.
