Chris Smylie
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Smylie (born March 22, 1982 in Auckland) is a New Zealand rugby union player, who plays at halfback. Although he made his provincial debut for North Harbour in 2002, he currently plays for Otago in the NPC and the Highlanders in the Super 14, and has been named in the New Zealand Māori squad for 2006.[1]
Smylie was named NPC Division One Player of the Year for 2005, after a strong campaign which saw Otago finish runners-up behind Auckland.[2] Despite this, he was not the first choice starting halfback for the Highlanders in 2006, with Southland halfback Jimmy Cowan often being preferred.
