Nehe Milner-Skudder (born 15 December 1990) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a fullback for Manawatu in the ITM Cup[1][2][3] and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby.[4]
Career
A native of Palmerston North, Milner-Skudder began as a rugby league player and was a member of the Sydney-based, Canterbury Bulldogs Under-20 side in 2009 and 2010. He moved back to New Zealand for 2011 and linked up with his local side the Manawatu Turbos, debuting during the 2011 ITM Cup. He quickly established himself as a regular in the Turbos starting XV and although injury limited him to just 5 appearances in 2013 he was named as a member of the Hurricanes wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[5] A really impressive ITM Cup campaign in 2014 ITM Cup in which the Turbos topped the Championship division saw him upgraded to the Hurricanes first team squad for 2015.[4]
International Career
Milner-Skudder was called up to the Māori All Blacks squad for their 2014 end-of-year tour of Japan.[6]
