Nqobisizwe Minentle 'Mox' Mxoli (born rugby union player, currently playing with the Blue Bulls. His regular position is prop.
2 February 1994) is a South AfricanMxoli was born in Durban and went to Westville Boys' High School, but wasn't selected to represent KwaZulu-Natal in any school-level rugby union competitions.
After finishing school, Mxoli moved to Pretoria to join the Blue Bulls Academy. He made seven appearances for the Blue Bulls U19s in the 2013 Under-19 Provincial Championship, scoring one try in their 56–7 victory over Border U19 to help them finish top of the log after winning all twelve of their matches. They eventually won the competition, beating the Golden Lions U19 35–23 in the final, but Nxoli didn't feature for them in the play-off stages.
In 2014, he was named in the Blue Bulls squad for the 2014 Vodacom Cup competition and made his first class debut in their 20–22 defeat to the Pumas, coming on as a replacement mid-way through the second half. That was his only appearance in the competition and he linked up with the South Africa Under-20 squad as they prepared for the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in New Zealand. He was not named in the matchday squads for their first two pool stage matches against Scotland and New Zealand, but was included on the bench for their third match against Samoa. However, he failed to get any game time in the match as South Africa won 21–8 to qualify for the semi-finals. He was again not named in their squad that beat New Zealand in the semi-final or the squad that lost 20–21 to England in the final, therefore failing to play a single minute in the tournament.
