Cornal Hendricks (born 18 April 1988) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut Bulls in Super Rugby, the Template:Rut Blue Bulls in the Currie Cup and the Template:Rut Blue Bulls XV in the Rugby Challenge.[1] His usual position is wing.

Career

Boland Cavaliers

He represented local team Template:Rut Boland Cavaliers through various underage competitions and graduated to the first team.

He made his first team debut for Boland against the Template:Rut Free State Cheetahs in the 2008 Currie Cup Premier Division season.[2] He remained a first team regular for them over the next five seasons.

Cheetahs / Free State Cheetahs

He signed a contract with the Template:Rut Cheetahs to join them for the 2014 season,[3] having previously agreed a deal with them for 2013,[4] but failed to play for them in 2013 due to his South Africa Sevens commitments.

He was included in the Template:Rut Cheetahs squad for the 2014 Super Rugby season[5] and made his debut – also scoring a try – in a 21–20 defeat to the Template:Rut Lions in Bloemfontein.[6][7]

Stormers / Western Province

He returned to the Western Cape for the 2016 season, signing a two-year deal with Template:Rut Western Province and the Template:Rut Stormers.[8] However, he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition and failed to make any appearances for them.[9]

Toulon

In December 2016, French Top 14 side Template:Rut Toulon announced the signing of Hendricks until the end of the 2016–17 season.[10] However, a few weeks after announcing this deal, Toulon stated that he would not join the team after all.[11]

Representative rugby

He was also a member of the South Africa Sevens team during the 2011–12 and 2012–13 IRB Sevens World Series.[12] In 2013, he was included in the squad for the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[13]

In May 2014, Hendricks was one of eight uncapped players that were called up to a Springbok training camp prior to the 2014 mid-year rugby union tests.[14]

He made his debut on 14 June 2014 for the Springboks against Wales in Durban.
