Michael Makase (born 20 January 1990 in Keiskammahoek, South Africa) is a South African rugby union player who last played for the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the Pro14 and the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in the Currie Cup and in the Rugby Challenge.[1] He can play as a winger or a fullback.
Career
Youth / amateur rugby
Makase started his career playing amateur rugby for Winter Rose, where he played until 2013.[2][3]
Border Bulldogs
He was one of several amateur club players brought into the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] provincial set-up at the start of 2014 after the professional side was declared bankrupt.[4] He was included in their squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition and made his debut in their Round One match against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[5] He started all seven of the Border Bulldogs' matches in the competition, helping them to their only victory in the Vodacom Cup against Kenyan side [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][6] and scoring his first senior try in a 26–40 defeat to the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]] in their second-last match in the competition.[7] However, their single win in the competition meant that they finished bottom of the Southern Section log.
Makase started four of their six matches in the 2014 Currie Cup qualification tournament, where the Border Bulldogs endured another poor season, losing all six of their matches. Makase scored his first try in the Currie Cup competition in a 15–103 defeat to the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[8] He made two starts in the 2014 Currie Cup First Division, but suffered defeats in both matches as Border finished bottom of the log.
He started six of their matches in the 2015 Vodacom Cup – as they emulated their 2014 record by winning just one of their seven matches – failing to score any tries during the competition, but he did score tries against the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][9] and the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]][10] in the 2015 Currie Cup qualification series, where the Border Bulldogs managed to secure two victories. He also scored a try in their final match of 2015, a 44–20 victory over the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]].[11]
Southern Kings
At the start of 2016, Makase was one of six Border Bulldogs players that joined the [[{{{tan}}}|{{{t}}}]]' Super Rugby squad for a trial period as they prepared for the 2016 Super Rugby season.[12]
