Franco: Pumas player brings real value

A Pumas forward will join Franco Smith’s Glasgow Warriors after the 2026 Currie Cup. The Scottish club announced on Tuesday that Ruwald van der Merwe has signed a two-year deal, subject to visa. The 27-year-old loose forward is the first player to put pen to paper with the Warriors ahead of next season. Van der Merwe joined the Pumas in 2022 after impressing for Shimlas in the Varsity Cup and was part of the side that reached the 2023 Currie Cup final.He captained the Pumas to the 2025 SA Cup title, with an 11-match winning streak culminating in a 39-14 win over Griquas in the final.“Ruwald is a player that we have been keeping an eye on for a while, having identified him as someone that we believe can bring real value to what we are aiming to build here,” said Smith.“He is a strong carrier who brings a real work ethic to everything he does.” ALSO: Franco keeps high-flying Glasgow grounded “I’m incredibly excited and very grateful to have signed with the Glasgow Warriors,” said Van der Merwe. “I’ve followed the club for a while, and I never imagined I’d get the opportunity to be part of such a prestigious setup. I’m looking forward to giving my best and contributing wherever I can. “I spoke to Franco before signing, who told me a lot about the environment and his coaching approach. What stood out is how much he values the individual and focuses on developing areas of your game that need improvement. “I also spoke to Henco Venter, who had nothing but great things to say about the club and life in Glasgow, which made the decision even more exciting for me and my family. STATE OF EURO CUPS: Stormers, Bulls on collision course “Supporters can expect a physical edge from me. Coming from South Africa, that’s something I take pride in. I enjoy carrying hard, using a mix of strength and speed, getting my hands free for offloads, and contributing physically on defence and at set-piece time. I want to make an impact in all areas and add as much as I can to the team.” Coming soon to Scotstoun Ruwald van der Merwe will become a Glasgow Warrior ahead of the 2026/27 season, after the Pumas back-rower put pen to paper on a two-year deal More: https://t.co/DVWP8oDY45#WhateverItTakes pic.twitter.com/IkNltIHcjw — Glasgow Warriors (@GlasgowWarriors) March 31, 2026 Photo: Dirk Kotze/Gallo Images The post Franco: Pumas player brings real value appeared first on SA Rugby magazine.
