He did however make the 2011 tournament where he played in all four pool games against Tonga, France, Japan and New Zealand
Buydens has developed his game with a stint at ITM Cup side Manwatau where he impressed the locals.
Buydens featured for Manawatu until 2016 before moving to San Diego Breakers and later represented NOLA Gold in the maiden Major League Rugby season.
