Ganfried May (born 25 July 1994) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut SWD Eagles.[1] He is a utility back that can play as a fullback, winger or fly-half.

Rugby career

2011–2012: Schoolboy rugby

May was born in Oudtshoorn. He represented his local province the Template:Rut SWD Eagles at South Africa's premier rugby union competition for high schools, the Under-18 Craven Week on two occasions – at the 2011 tournament held in Kimberley and the 2012 tournament held in Port Elizabeth. He was named as a replacement for two games in the former, but started all three matches in the latter, scoring a try in their match against Limpopo.[2] He was included in a South Africa Schools squad after the 2012 event for the Under-18 International Series against their counterparts from France, Wales and England,[3] but didn't feature in any of their matches.

2013–2016: Blue Bulls

May moved to Pretoria for the 2013 to join the Template:Rut Blue Bulls academy. He was included in the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19 squad for the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship,[4] and appeared in all fourteen of their matches during the season. He started nine matches during the regular season and was used as a replacement in three other matches, scoring tries in matches against Template:Rut Free State U21 (in Pretoria),[5] Template:Rut Leopards U21,[6] Template:Rut Western Province U21,[7] Template:Rut Border U21[8] and Free State U21 in Bloemfontein[9] to help the Blue Bulls to twelve consecutive victory to top the log.[10] He played off the bench in his side's 37–21 win over Leopards U21,[11] and in the 35–23 win over Template:Rut Golden Lions U21 in the final as his side was crowned the 2013 champions.[12]

He made eight appearances for the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U21 team during the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, through five starts and three substitute appearances. He emulated his try-scoring form from 2013, scoring five tries during the season in matches against Template:Rut Border U21,[13] Template:Rut Golden Lions U21,[14] Template:Rut Leopards U21[15] Template:Rut Free State U21[16] and the return leg against Border U21.[17] The Blue Bulls finished in second place on the log to qualify for the semi-finals,[18] but May was not involved in their 23–19 semi-final victory over the Golden Lions[19] or their 20–10 victory over Template:Rut Western Province U21 in the final.[20]

In 2015, May was included in the Template:Rut Blue Bulls squad for the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition. He made his first class debut by starting in their 46–25 victory over the Template:Rut Leopards XV in Round Two of the competition,[21] and also started their next match, a 12–24 defeat to trans-Jukskei rivals the Template:Rut Golden Lions XV.[22] He reverted to the U21 team for the second half of the season to make nine appearances in the Under-21 Provincial Championship. He scored four tries – one against Template:Rut Sharks U21,[23] one against Template:Rut Leopards U21 in Pretoria[24] and a brace in their 55–33 victory over the Leopards in Potchefstroom.[25] Overall, it was a disappointing season for the defending champions, as they finished in fifth place on the log, missing out on the semi-final play-offs.[26]

In 2016, he made a single first class appearance, coming on as a replacement in the Blue Bulls' 95–12 victory over Namibian side the Template:Rut Welwitschias.[27] He played amateur club rugby during this time, playing for Naka Bulle in the Carlton League in the region.[28] He was named in the Blue Bulls squad for the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division, but failed to make any appearances,[29] instead being loaned to the Eastern Province Kings.

2016: Eastern Province Kings

In August 2016, May was contracted by the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings for the 2016 Currie Cup Premier Division.[30] He made his first debut in the team's 6–36 defeat to Template:Rut Western Province in Port Elizabeth, coming on as a replacement for the last twelve minutes.[31] He made his first start four days later as Eastern Province faced Template:Rut Griquas in a rescheduled midweek match,[32] and made his third and final appearance of the season as a replacement in their 25–57 loss to the Template:Rut Free State Cheetahs three days later.[33] The Eastern Province Kings endured a torrid season, losing all eight of their matches to finish bottom of the log.[34]
