Eli Colin Snyman (born 25 January 1996) is a Zimbabwe-born South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Blue Bulls in the domestic Currie Cup and UP Tuks in the Varsity Cup. His regular position is lock.
Snyman was born in Harare, where he attended St. John's Preparatory School. In 2009, he was selected to represent Zimbabwe's Under-13 side in the South African Craven Week competition, starting all four of their matches and scoring a try in their game against hosts Griquas in Kimberley.
At secondary school level, he attended St. John's College, and was once again selected to represent Zimbabwe at the Craven Week competition for high schools in 2014. He started all three of their matches at the tournament held in Middelburg.
Snyman's performances were noticed by the Blue Bulls and he signed an academy contract with the Pretoria-based side, joining their intake for the 2015 season. He was named in the Blue Bulls Under-19 squad that participated in the 2015 Under-19 Provincial Championship, chosen to be vice-captain and started eight of their twelve matches during the regular season of the competition. He scored one try in the competition, in a 42–24 victory over the Free State U19 team, helping the Blue Bulls to finish in second spot on the log to qualify for the semi-finals. Snyman also made one start and one appearance as a replacement for the Blue Bulls U21 team at the end of the Under-21 Provincial Championship, but rejoined the Under-19 team for the title-ply-offs. He started their 30–29 victory over Western Province in their semi-final match, as well as the final, but he could not prevent the Blue Bulls losing 23–25 the Eastern Province U19s. While missing out on silverware, he received a personal accolade, being named the Under-19 Forward of the Year at the Blue Bulls' end-of-season awards ceremony.
