Emile Nicolaas George Temperman (born 5 December 1991) is a South African rugby union player who most recently played for the Template:Rut Pumas.[1] His regular position is scrum-half.

Rugby career

2008–2009: Schoolboy rugby

Temperman was born in Nylstroom, but grew up in Frankfort and Nelspruit. Playing for Hoërskool Nelspruit, he was selected to represent the Template:Rut Pumas in the premier South African high school rugby union competition, the Under-18 Craven Week, in both 2008 and 2009.

2010: SWD Eagles

After high school, Temperman moved to George, where he joined the Template:Rut SWD Eagles rugby team. He made eight appearances for the Template:Rut SWD U19 team in the 2010 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring tries in matches against Template:Rut Griquas U19,[2] Template:Rut Pumas U19[3] and Template:Rut Boland U19,[4] helping the team finish third in Group B to qualify for the play-offs.[5] He started their 27–20 victory over Template:Rut Falcons U19 in the semi-finals,[6] but missed out on the final, where the team missed out on silverware by losing to Template:Rut Eastern Province U19.[7] He also made a single appearance for their Under-21 team against the Template:Rut Pumas U21s.[8]

2011–2015: UP Tuks and Blue Bulls

Temperman returned north for the 2011 season, joining the University of Pretoria's rugby team, Template:Rut UP Tuks. He was named in their squad for the 2011 Varsity Cup, but failed to appear in the competition. His next action in a national competition came in the latter half of 2012, as he represented the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U21 team in the Under-21 Provincial Championship. He made twelve appearances – ten of those as a replacement – and scored a try in their match against Template:Rut Leopards U21[9] as the team made it all the way to the final of the competition. Temperman played off the bench in their 22–13 victory over Template:Rut Western Province U21 in the final to help the team secure the title.[10]

He featured for Template:Rut UP Tuks in the next three editions of the Varsity Cup. He made six appearances in the 2013 competition, scoring a try in a 52–0 win over Gauteng rivals Template:Rut Wits[11] on their way to the final, where Temperman featured for the final 17 minutes of a 44–5 victory over Template:Rut Maties to win the title for their second consecutive season.[12] He also made his first class debut during this season, coming on as a replacement in the Template:Rut Blue Bulls' 54–26 victory over the Template:Rut Golden Lions in the 2013 Vodacom Cup.[13]

He played in seven matches of UP Tuks' 2014 Varsity Cup disappointing campaign, which saw them miss out on a semi-final spot after finishing in sixth position,[14] and a further seven in 2015, where an improved showing saw the team finish top of the log[15] before losing in the semi-finals against Template:Rut NWU Pukke.[16] Temperman was mainly utilised as a replacement during his three Varsity Cup campaigns, making just one start, and he was not selected to represent the Blue Bulls in any further matches.

2016–present: Pumas

For 2016, Temperman returned to Nelspruit, joining the Template:Rut Pumas prior to their 2016 Currie Cup qualification campaign. He made his first start in first class rugby in their opening match of the season, a 9–12 defeat to the Template:Rut Falcons.[17] He appeared regularly for the Pumas throughout the campaign, making a total of five starts and eight appearances as a replacement in their 14 matches, as his side finished the competition in fourth position to secure qualification to the Currie Cup Premier Division.[18] He made his debut in the Currie Cup proper on 5 August 2016, coming on as a replacement in their defeat to the Template:Rut Sharks (Currie Cup),[19] eventually appearing in all eight of the Pumas' matches in a poor season that saw the side finish second-bottom,[20] with a single victory in their final match against the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings.[21]
