My Take

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.

Overview

Brad McCormick Weber (born 17 January 1991) is a New Zealand rugby union player, who currently plays as a halfback for Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in the Japan Rugby League One. He previously played for Hawke's Bay in the National Provincial Championship, the Chiefs in Super Rugby and for Stade Français in the French Top 14. He has represented New Zealand internationally.
