He went to Otago Boys' High School, and originally played for Otago in the NPC and the Highlanders in the Super 12, moving north in 2004 to play for Waikato and the Chiefs. He is 1.75m tall and weighs 94kg. He was New Zealand's Super 12 Player of the Year in 1999. His high-profile relationship with adult pornography star Kaylani Lei ended in June 2006.

He is known as an unpredictable and unorthodox halfback, with his speed and strength, sometimes preferring to run with the ball and make line-breaks rather than passing the ball after rucks and mauls.
