Curwin Dominique Bosch (born 25 June 1997) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with the Sharks in Super Rugby and the Sharks XV in the Currie Cup. He can play as a fly-half or a fullback.
Bosch was born in Port Elizabeth and was selected on several occasions to represent the Eastern Province Rugby Union at youth rugby tournaments. He played for them as early as primary school level in 2010, when he played at the Under-13 Craven Week tournament held in Graaff-Reinet, scoring a penalty in their win over Boland. In 2013, he made three starts for Eastern Province at the Under-16 Grant Khomo Week held in Vanderbijlpark, which included a match that saw him score a try and five points with the boot against Western Province.
He appeared at the premier rugby union competition at schoolboy level in South Africa, the Under-18 Craven Week, in 2014. He started the tournament in Middelburg by scoring 21 of his team's points in a 26–25 victory in their opening match before helping his team beat the Free State and SWD in the final match of the tournament to be crowned unofficial champions. After the tournament, Bosch was included in a South Africa Schools team to play in the Under-18 International Series against their counterparts from France,Wales and England. He played in all three matches – starting the first and last matches – and kicked 15 points throughout the series to help his side to two wins in their three matches.
Still at school in 2015, he represented Eastern Province at the Craven Week for a second time. A 21-point points tally form Bosch in their first match against SWD in a repeat of the 2014 main match was followed by 13 points in their 23–22 victory over KwaZulu-Natal in their second match to qualify for a second successive final. However, Bosch failed to help his side to back-to-back wins, as Western Province beat them 95–0 in a very one-sided final. Bosch was once again noticed by the South African Schools selectors as he earned another selection in the squad for the 2015 International Series. He kicked a total of 42 points in the three matches – ten penalties and six conversions – in victories over Wales, France and England.
