A product of Christchurch Boy’s High School, he was a member of the 2017 New Zealand Under 20 side that went on to win the World Championship. His eye-catching form in the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup season saw him help Tasman to their first ever premiership title, and in 2020 he finished the Super Rugby Aotearoa season with the most tries, defenders beaten and metres gained.
He made his debut for the All Blacks in late 2020, and this year scored a record 15 tries in 11 tests.
This week he won World Rugby's Breakthrough Player of the Year award, and was also named in World Rugby’s dream First 15.
