Rugby career

Youth / Varsity Cup rugby

Jamieson didn't feature in any school provincial competitions for Eastern Province, but in 2013 – while still in the Under-18 age group, he was included in the Template:Rut Eastern Province U19 squad that participated in Group B of the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship.[2] He started four of their seven matches during the regular season, scoring a try in a 42–20 victory over the Template:Rut Griffons U19 team[3] to help his side finish in third position on the log to secure a semi-final spot.[4] He started their 45–30 victory over Template:Rut Boland U19 in the semi-finals,[5] as well as their 56–40 victory over the table-topping Template:Rut Falcons U19 side in the final[6] to help them secure the Group B title. He also started in their 27–20 win over Eastern Cape rivals Template:Rut Border U19 in the promotion play-off match, as his side won 27–20 to win promotion to Group A for 2014.[7]

He was a key member of the squad that played in the 2014 event, making nine starts and two appearances off the bench in their twelve matches during the campaign. He scored a try in their 42–7 victory over Template:Rut Leopards U19,[8] as Eastern Province won four matches to finish in sixth spot, avoiding a relegation play-off match.[9]

For 2015, Jamieson was included in the Template:Rut Eastern Province U21 squad for their season in the Group A of the 2015 Under-21 Provincial Championship, their first season at that level after winning promotion from Group B at the end of 2014. The team struggled to adjust at this level, winning just one of their twelve matches during the season to finish bottom of the log,[10] but Jamieson once again established himself as a regular in the side, making ten starts and appearing as a replacement in their other two matches.

At the start of 2016, Jamieson was included in the Template:Rut NMMU Madibaz squad that participated in the 2016 Varsity Cup tournament. He made four appearances in a disappointing season for NMMU as they finish second-last in the competition.[11]

Eastern Province Kings

At the end of 2015, serious financial problems at the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings saw a number of first team regulars leave the union[12] and Jamieson was among a number of youngsters that were promoted to the squad that competed in the 2016 Currie Cup qualification series.[13] He was named on the bench for their first match of the season against the Template:Rut SWD Eagles[14] and came on as a replacement in the 54th minutes of a 14–37 defeat to make his first class debut.[15] He made four more appearances off the bench during the season – finding himself behind Warrick Venter and Southern Kings loanee Martin Bezuidenhout in the pecking order – but made his first senior start on 28 May 2016 in a 35–all draw against the Template:Rut Golden Lions in Johannesburg.[16]
