He scored a total of seven tries during the competition (which was joint fourth in the competition) and also scored seven conversions, to end the season with a total of 49 points.

He returned to South Africa after one season at Lazio and played for Durban-based club side College Rovers.

He was also named Backline Player of the Tournament.
