James Wilson is a New Zealand rugby union player. His preferred position is fly half but he can also play fullback.
In 2003 Southland introduced James Wilson to the NPC when he played against Marlborough. Having now played for Southland for seven seasons he has been able to score 111 points for his union and settled himself nicely into the team playing 50 matches in total.
After a great Air New Zealand Cup season in 2006 Wilson's name had come into contention for the Highlanders 2007 Super 14 season. He eventually got called into the squad as a replacement player, being an accomplished goalkicker helped his causes. He was a member of the Highlanders Super 14 Squad in 2008, and in 2009 a member of the Chiefs squad.
