Timeline

1985

Tendai Mtawarira (born 1 August 1985) is a Zimbabwean-South African retired professional rugby union player who last played for Old Glory DC in Major League Rugby and previously for the South Africa national team and the in Super Rugby.

He was born in Zimbabwe and qualified for South Africa on residency grounds, before later acquiring South African citizenship.

Mtawarira, a prop, is known by the nickname Beast.

Mtawarira was born on 1 August 1985 in Harare, Zimbabwe.

He attended Churchill School in Harare for five years before being given a full scholarship to Peterhouse Boys' School, an independent school in Mashonaland East.

At the age of 15, while at Churchill, he was spotted by Zimbabwean coach Joey Muwadzuri who invited him to join the Under 19 side at the National Schools Festival.

Later that year Muwadzuri invited him to be part of Cats and Dogs Rugby Academy Team that won the National Seniors 7's tournament.

He played with Dan Hondo, Pete Benade, Tonderai "Kawaza" Chavhanga, among others.

2008

Mtawarira made his debut for South Africa against Wales on 14 June 2008.

With 117 caps, he is the most capped prop in South African history and the fourth most capped Springbok of all time behind Victor Matfield, Bryan Habana and Eben Etzebeth.

After a strong 2008 Super 14 season with the Sharks it was apparent that he had great potential and his speed would be beneficial with the new rules (ELV's).

He was then selected in the Springbok squad and made his debut against Wales on 14 June 2008.

At first received limited game time.

Later he had the opportunity to be a reserve during the test against the Wallabies in Perth.

Once he came on, his impact was significant; he went on to be a part of the starting lineup for all the subsequent Tri-nations tests.

2009

A highlight of Mtawarira's career to date came in the first test of the British & Irish Lions tour in 2009.

Scrumming against Phil Vickery, Mtawarira dominated his more experienced opponent, leading to Vickery being substituted after 45 minutes, and a man-of-the-match award for Mtawarira.

However, he conceded several penalties in the second test when playing opposite Welsh prop Adam Jones.

Similarly, in the third test, Mtawarira was largely ineffectual in the scrum, with the returning Vickery and replacement John Hayes subduing him up front.

Although Mtawarira was fully eligible to play for South Africa under IRB rules, his Zimbabwean nationality was a sticking point in 2009 and 2010.

South Africa has a policy of only allowing its nationals to represent the country, although it has been somewhat flexible; the South African Rugby Union (SARU) officially cleared him to play with the Boks in the November 2009 Tests, after receiving clearance from the country's sports minister Makhenkesi Stofile.

More recently, his citizenship was a minor political issue in the country.

2010

As well as his 117 Test matches, Mtawarira has played uncapped games for the Springboks against the Barbarians in 2010 and 2016, and against World XVs in 2014 and 2015.

He has also played twice for the Barbarians.

Mtawarira also holds the record for the most Super Rugby caps by a South African with 160 caps.

Pld = Games Played, W = Games Won, D = Games Drawn, L = Games Lost, Tri = Tries Scored, Pts = Points Scored

In January 2010, Butana Komphela, an ANC member of the National Assembly and chair of its sports committee, publicly threatened to charge the SARU with "illegally" fielding Mtawarira and have him deported to Zimbabwe.

Shortly after the threat, Mtawarira told the Sunday Independent,

I am a South African at heart.

I love this country.

It has become my home.

It is everything to me.

2011

With his 117 caps, Mtawarira is the 17th most capped international forward of all time and the 5th most capped prop of all time.

2018

On 16 June 2018, Mtawarira played his 100th test match against England.

He was dropped to the bench for South Africa's loss to Australia on 8 September 2018, and sustained a neck injury against New Zealand on 6 October 2018, meaning he missed the Springboks' 2018 tour to Europe.

2019

He is also a 2019 Rugby World Cup Winner.

He owns a security company in South Africa and a community-based organisation known as The Beast Foundation.

Mtawarira was named in South Africa's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

South Africa went on to win the tournament, defeating England in the final.

Mtawarira's scrummaging in the final was described as destructive, and South Africa won many scrum penalties.
