James Nicholas Verity-Amm (born 8 June 1994) is a South African rugby union player, currently playing with Australian Super Rugby side the Force and with Perth Spirit in the National Rugby Championship. He can play as a winger or full-back.
Verity-Amm was born in Kroonstad, but grew up in the Western Cape, where he attended Hottentots Holland High School in Somerset West. In 2013, Verity-Amm made two appearances for the Cape Town-based Western Province U19 in the Under-19 Provincial Championship.
He played Varsity Shield rugby for UWC in 2014 and 2015. He scored four tries in seven appearances in 2014 – including two in a match against UFH Blues – as UWC struggled in the competition, finishing second-bottom on the log. In 2015, Verity-Amm endured a purple patch, scoring hat-tricks in both of their matches against UFH Blues, and away to eventual runner-up Wits, and two tries against TUT Vikings, to finish as the competition's top scorer with eleven tries in seven starts.
