Michael Paterson (born 9 May 1985) is a rugby union player for the Cardiff Blues in the RaboDirect Pro12 competition. He plays as a lock or blindside flanker. Paterson has represented the New Zealand under 21s but is yet to gain a cap for the All Blacks. Before moving to Cardiff, Paterson was considered by many to be a strong contender to join the New Zealand squad.[1]
