9 May 1995 inCareer[edit]
Youth[edit]
As a scholar at Paarl Gimnasium, he earned a call-up to the Western Province squad for the 2012 Under-18 Craven Week competition. At the completion of the Craven Week tournament, he was named in the South African Schools side that played a three-match tournament in August 2012.[2] He started all three of South Africa's matches against France,[3] Wales[4] and England,[5] helping South Africa to victories in all three matches.
He was once again named in the S.A. Schools side in 2013,[6] but missed the matches through injury.[7] He recovered to represent the Western Province U19 side during the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, making two appearances.
In 2014, Schickerling was included in the S.A. Under-20 side that participated in the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship.[8] After playing off the bench in their first match of the competition against Scotland,[9] he got promoted to the starting line-up for their remaining pool stage matches against New Zealand[10] and Samoa.[11] He also started their semi-final match as they secured a second victory over New Zealand during the tournament[12] and was also named in the run-on side for the final against England.
Western Province[edit]
He made his first class debut for Western Province during the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition, coming on as a substitute against the Boland Cavaliers.[13]
He returned to action for the Western Province U21 side during the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship, but suffered a serious set-back when he sustained a broken neck in their match against the Blue Bulls U21 in Pretoria.[14]
