Mzwandile Wanky Stick (born 5 October 1984 in Port Elizabeth) is a former South African rugby union player and currently an assistant coach for the South Africa national rugby union team.
He captained the South Africa sevens team during the 2008–09 IRB Sevens World Series, which saw the team win the series title for the first time. His favoured position was full-back. He came off the bench for a Southern Kings XV against British and Irish Lions during the 2009 tour to South Africa.
He was named in the Kings wider training squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season, but was subsequently released to the Vodacom Cup squad.[1]
He was named the Under-21 Assistant Coach in 2013.[2] He became the head coach of the Eastern Province U19 team and their Vodacom Cup team for 2014 and 2015, guiding the Under-19s to their first ever Under-19 Provincial Championship title in 2015.[3]
In December 2015, he was appointed as the backline coach of the Kings Super Rugby team for the 2016 Super Rugby season,[4] and joined the South Africa national rugby union team in the same capacity in April 2016.[5]
