Regan Ware

EVENT: Men's Rugby 7's

Ware burst onto the sevens scene in 2015 and impressed so much in his first season, he was nominated for World Rugby's Rookie of the Year award. 

The former New Zealand Schools representative dotted down 15 times in his debut season including the sensational last gasp try to send New Zealand into the Hong Kong Sevens final. 

Ware hails from Tokoroa and displays the speed on attack and strength on defence that is essential in the fast-paced world of sevens. 

A member of the 2018 Commonwealth Games and World Cup winning All Blacks Sevens teams, Ware scored a crucial try in the gold medal final against Fiji to claim Commonwealth gold in 2018. He was also part of the side that brought home silver at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and bronze at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
