Mzamo Majola (born 20 February 1995 in Durban, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player for the Template:Rut Sharks in Super Rugby and in the Currie Cup and the Template:Rut Sharks XV in the Rugby Challenge.[1] His regular position is prop.

Career

He represented the Sharks at the premier South African high school rugby competition, the Under-18 Craven Week held in Polokwane in July 2013, making three appearances. He joined the Sharks Academy after finishing high school and represented the Template:Rut Sharks U19 side in the 2014 Under-19 Provincial Championship, starting all thirteen of their matches in the loosehead prop position as they reached the semi-final of the competition, where they were defeated 20–43 by the Template:Rut Blue Bulls U19.[2]

Despite being included in the Template:Rut UKZN Impi squad for the 2015 Varsity Shield, he made no appearances for them. He did, however, make his first class debut on 28 March 2015, coming on as a substitute for the Template:Rut Sharks XV in their 2015 Vodacom Cup match against Template:Rut Western Province in Crawford, Cape Town.[3] He also played off the bench in their next match against a Template:Rut Free State XV in Kokstad.[4]

He was named in a 37-man training squad for the South Africa national under-20 rugby union team[5] and featured for them in a friendly match against a Varsity Cup Dream Team in April 2015.[6] He was also included in the squad that embarked on a two-match tour of Argentina.[7] He came on as a replacement in their 25–22 victory over Argentina[8] and started their 39–28 victory a few days later.[9]

Upon the team's return, he was named in the final squad for the 2015 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[10] He didn't feature in the first of their three matches in Pool B of the competition, a 33–5 win against hosts Italy,[11] but came on as a replacement in their 40–8 win against Samoa[12] and in their 46–13 win over Australia[13] to help South Africa finish top of Pool B to qualify for the semi-finals with the best record pool stage of all the teams in the competition. Majola also played off the bench in their semi-final match against England, but could not prevent them losing 20–28 to be eliminated from the competition by England for the second year in succession[14] as well as in their third-place play-off match against France, helping South Africa to a 31–18 win to secure third place in the competition.[15]
