Check out this awesome video showing just how quickly Canan Moodie went from a schoolboy star to a Springbok superstar ready to take the world by star at RWC 2023.

At just 20, Moodie is the youngest of the 33 players in Springboks squad set to compete at the 2023 Rugby World Cup and he is certainly also one of the most exciting rookies at the tournament.

His maturity and excellent performances so far in the Springbok jersey belie his tender age, but this video shared on the Bulls’ social media platforms demonstrates just how young he is. He finished school just three years ago and is already a global star.
