Anton Lienert-Brown (born 15 April 1995) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a second five-eighth or wing for the Chiefs in Super Rugby.[1][2][3] and Waikato in the ITM Cup.[4]
Career
Lienert-Brown began his career in Christchurch, where he caught the eye with some excellent performances for Christchurch Boys' High School in the 2012 South Island finals. This began a rapid ascent for the young second five-eighth who was in line to be part of the Waikato squad for the 2013 ITM Cup until a shoulder operation which required surgery ruled him out.[1] Nonetheless 2012 and 2013 Super Rugby champions the Chiefs included him in their 2014 squad as part of the franchise's wider training group.[2]
He made his Super Rugby debut on 29 March 2014 in a 34-34 draw against the Bulls in Pretoria. Starting the game in an unfamiliar role on the wing, he was replaced by Tim Nanai-Williams in the 51st minute.[5][6]
