Career

Nokwe made his international debut against Argentina on 9 August 2008 and scored a try as the Springboks won 63–9. In only his third game, he became the first Springbok player to score four tries against the Wallabies in a test match in a 53–8 victory at Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg before injuring his leg.

The following year he was selected in the South Africa squad to play the British and Irish Lions and started the final test as the Springboks won the series 2–1.

In 2005 Nokwe was named South African Young Player of the Year ahead of future Springboks Morné Steyn, Wynand Olivier, Ruan Pienaar and JP Pietersen.

In 2006 he was named Provincial Sportsman of the Year by the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport in the Western Cape.

In November 2011, it was announced that he signed for the Eastern Province Kings for 2012.[1]

He was released after just one season and signed for the Falcons for 2013,[2] before joining Durban-based club side College Rovers before the 2014 SARU Community Cup.[3]
