2014 SUPER RUGBY MEDIA GUIDE CHEETAHS 264 HILTON LOBBERTS Position: Lock Physical: 196cm/104kg Date of Birth: 11 June 1986 Place of Birth: Paarl, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 12 Super Rugby Points: 0 Super Rugby Debut: Round 1, 2007 vs Sharks, Durban Test Caps: 2 Test Points: 0 Test Debut 18 November 2006 vs England, Twickenham Hilton Lobberts was a tender 20-year old when he made his international debut for South Africa in 2006. Having played for the Bulls (2007-08) and Stormers (2009-12) previously, the uncompromising loose forward is no stranger to Super Rugby. His bulk and athleticism will be a valuable asset to the squad in 2014. He has previously played for South Africa U19, U21, the Emerging Springboks and San Donà in Italy from 2012-13. KEVIN LUITERS @Kevin_Luiters Position: Scrumhalf Physical: 174cm/82kg Date of Birth: 2 July 1992 Place of Birth: Port Elizabeth, RSA Super Rugby Caps: 0 Super Rugby Points: 0 Super Rugby Debut: – Test Caps: 0 Test Points: 0 Test Debut – In 2010, Kevin Luiters came into the spotlight for the South African U18 High Performance squad and SA Sevens which subsequently led to opportunities at Vodacom Cup, Currie Cup and Springbok Sevens level. Strongly built and with a bullet pass, Luiters first wore the Cheetahs jersey in 2011 but seniors such as Piet van Zyl, Sarel Pretorius and Tewis de Bruyn kept him out of contention for Super Rugby. But with the departure of Van Zyl and De Bruyn, Luiters could very well get his big breakthrough at Super Rugby level in 2014.
