Rising rugby career of Leolin Zas

Zas made his first-class debut in 2015 and broke into the Stormers senior setup in 2016, making his Super Rugby debut as a teenager. His early career was marked by serious injury setbacks, including a fractured leg that sidelined him for an extended period. He briefly moved to the Sharks before returning to Cape Town.

He really announced himself in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship (URC), finishing as the top try scorer with 11 tries in the inaugural 2021–22 season. In February 2023, Zas signed a three-year contract extension with the Stormers, keeping him at the club until at least 2026.
