KwenzoBlose

Blose arrived in Devon in pre-season of the 2024/25 season to add depth to the Chiefs forward pack. The nimble front rower, who is a former South African Under 20, moved to the Northern Hemisphere from United Rugby Championship side, DHL Stormers.

Born in Paulpietersburg, South Africa, he made his professional debut for Cape Town-based Western Province in 2018. Having made 41 appearances for them, Blose made the switch to the URC with DHL Stormers.

Since then, he has made 18 appearances for the South African branch of the competition which includes Irish, Scottish, Welsh and Italian competition. Blose has also made his mark on the age-grade international stage, gaining seven caps for the Junior Springboks.
