Hall started his career as a loose forward before becoming a hooker in 2002. David gained his 50th cap playing for Southland against Tasman on the 16 September 2006. He still occasionally plays Number 8 for the Stags due to Jason Rutledge having recently cemented the hookering role for both the Stags and for the Highlanders in the Super 14.
He was forced out of the 2010 Super 14 with a knee injury sustained in the 2009 Ranfurly Shield Win against Canterbury.[1] His knee was later reconstructed and along with a shoulder operation the rehabilitation process is expected to take up to nine months.[2]
During his long injury period Hall will attempt to help re-establish the Wrights Bush Rugby Club where he played most of his junior rugby. They will enter a senior team for the first time since 1995 and he is expected to assist with the coaching duties.[3]
