Tevita Koloamatangi (born 7 September 1988) is a New Zealand Rugby Union player who currently plays as a flanker for Tasman in the ITM Cup[1][2] and the Chiefs in Super Rugby.[3][4]

Career

As a result of his showings during the 2013 ITM Cup, Koloamatangi was named in the 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 Crusaders.[5]

Koloamatangi attended Nelson College in 2006.[6]
