Eital Bredenkamp (born 28 January 1993 in Pretoria, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player who last played for [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the Currie Cup.[1] His regular position is flanker, but he occasionally plays as a hooker.
Career
Youth
He played for and captained his high school, Pretoria-based Afrikaanse Hoër Seunskool at schoolboy level.[2] Despite not being selected by the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] for any youth tournaments such as the prestigious Under-18 Craven Week tournament, his performances were noted by [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and he joined the Cape Town outfit for the 2012 season.
He started twelve matches for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] side during the 2012 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring seven tries[3] – which included a hat-trick in their 39–8 victory over [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Cape Town[4] – to help his side to the play-offs of the competition. Another of his tries came in the semi-final match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]], helping Western Province to a 24–14 victory[5] to reach the final against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Durban. Bredenkamp started that match to help his side to win the title by running out 22–18 winners.[6]
In 2013, he became involved in the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] set-up and appeared on ten occasions during the 2013 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He mainly played off the bench – making just two starts – but still contributed to the cause by scoring five tries for his side. This included two tries scored in their semi-final match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]; he scored a second-half try as the match finished 34–34 after the regulation 80 minutes and he scored a second try in the 90th minute which proved instrumental to helping his side to a 44–41 victory.[7] He played in the final as Western Province beat the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] 30–23.[8]
He played for the Under-21 side once more during the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, also being named captain for the campaign.[9] He finished as the top try scorer in Group A of the competition, scoring thirteen tries in twelve appearances.[10] This included hat-tricks in their matches against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in their opening match of the season[11] and against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in a 90–0 demolition.[12] He led [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] to the final of the competition, but failed to win his second youth championship in three years as they lost 10–20 to the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[13][14]
Western Province
He made his first class debut for [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] during the 2014 Vodacom Cup. Despite playing as a flanker for the majority of his rugby career, he was named as the replacement hooker for their opening match of the season against [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] and came off the bench shortly after half-time to make his debut in a 16–8 victory.[15] He made his first start the following week against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] (again as a hooker) as Western Province lost 25–7 to their Durban rivals[16] and made a further four substitute appearances as Western Province reached the quarter-finals of the competition, only to be eliminated by the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in Nelspruit.[17]
Eastern Province Kings
He was one of three players (along with Tazz Fuzani and Jan Uys) that moved from the Western Cape to the Eastern Cape to join Port Elizabeth-based side [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] for the 2015 season.[18] He made his debut for the EP Kings by starting their first match of the 2015 Vodacom Cup season, a 19–27 defeat to defending champions [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[19]
