Brad Weber

Brad Weber is the kind of athlete I respect precisely because he isn't a household name. A New Zealand halfback born in Napier in 1991, he climbed through Hawke's Bay and the Chiefs, played in France with Stade Francais, and even earned All Blacks selection, which is no small feat in a country where rugby is everything. Now he's plying his trade in Japan with the Sagamihara DynaBoars. I like that arc: a smaller, quick-thinking scrum-half who carved out an international career through grit rather than size. His move to Japan also reflects how the global game is shifting, and I think those journeyman pros deserve more credit.
