Jano Venter (born 8 January 1994 in Witbank, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut Bulls in Super Rugby and the Template:Rut Blue Bulls XV in the Rugby Challenge.[1] His regular position is number eight.

Career

Youth / Pumas

At high school level, Venter was selected to represent the Pumas at the 2010 Under-16 Grant Khomo Week and again at the 2012 Under-18 Craven Week, the premier high school rugby union competition in South Africa. After the Craven Week, he was also selected to represent a South Africa Schools team that played in the 2012 Under-18 International Series held in the Western Cape against European opposition. He played in all three of South Africa's matches in the competition, starting their 17–7 victory over France[2] and their 24–16 victory over Wales[3] and came on as a second-half replacement in their 36–29 victory over England.[4]

Golden Lions

After high school, Venter joined the youth setup of Johannesburg-based side the Template:Rut Golden Lions. He started thirteen of the Template:Rut Golden Lions U19 side's fourteen matches during the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship; eleven of those appearances came during the round-robin stage of the competition as the Golden Lions finished second on the log to qualify for the semi-finals, with Venter scoring tries in their matches against the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19,[5] Template:Rut Western Province U19,[6] Template:Rut Free State U19[7] and two tries in their match against Template:Rut Border U19.[8] He scored another try in their semi-final match against the Template:Rut Sharks U21, which ultimately proved to be decisive as the Golden Lions ran out 27–25 winners.[9] He also started the final of the competition against the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19, but his participation ended in the 54th minute of a match when Venter and his Blue Bulls counterpart Chris Massyn were both sent off after several punches were thrown.[10][11] The Golden Lions eventually lost the match 23–35 to finish as runners-up in the competition.[12]

He moved up to the Template:Rut Golden Lions U21 age-group in 2014 and made five appearances for them in the 2014 Under-21 Provincial Championship. He scored one try in their match against the Template:Rut Leopards[13] as the Golden Lions finished in third spot to clinch a semi-final berth. Venter came on as a replacement in their semi-final against the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U21, but could not prevent them suffering a 19–23 defeat.[14]

He was included in the Golden Lions' squad for the 2015 Vodacom Cup competition and made his first class debut on 13 March 2015, starting their match against the Template:Rut Limpopo Blue Bulls in Polokwane as the Golden Lions ran out 31–21 winners.[15] He featured in victories against the Template:Rut Falcons in Kempton Park[16] and former side the Template:Rut Pumas in Nelspruit[17] and then also started in their home match against the Template:Rut Leopards, scoring two tries midway through the second half as the Golden Lions ran out 63–10 winners.[18] He emulated that in their very next match, scoring two tries early in the match to beat the Template:Rut Griffons 36–20 in Welkom.[19] The Golden Lions finished top of the Northern Section log to qualify for the play-off stage of the competition. Venter started their quarter final match against the Template:Rut SWD Eagles as they secure a 29–21 win[20] and played off the bench in their semi-final match against the Template:Rut Pumas, which the side from Nelspruit won 43–20.[21]

Venter reverted to the Template:Rut Golden Lions U21 side for the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship and made six appearances, scoring three tries (two of those against the Template:Rut Eastern Province U21s in a 73–14 win in Port Elizabeth)[22] before he was named on the bench for the Template:Rut Golden Lions for their 2015 Currie Cup Premier Division match against the Template:Rut Pumas in Nelspruit.[23]
