Tevita Koloamatangi (born 7 September 1988) is a New Zealand rugby union player, currently playing for Mazda Blue Zoomers in the Top Challenge League in Japan.
Career
As a result of his showings during the 2013 ITM Cup, Koloamatangi was named in the Template:Rut Chiefs wider training squad ahead of the 2014 Super Rugby season. Good pre-season form coupled with injuries to more established loose-forwards such as Sam Cane and Tanerau Latimer saw Koloamatangi make his debut in week 1 of the season, an 18-10 victory away to the Template:Rut Crusaders.[1]
In February 2017 he was signed by English Championship side London Irish until the end of the season.
Koloamatangi attended Nelson College in 2006.[2]
