Who is Aaron Mauger?

Aaron Joseph Douglas Mauger is a former rugby union player who played at centre for Leicester Tigers. He previously played first five-eighths and second five-eighths for Canterbury, the Crusaders and the New Zealand All Blacks. He joined the Leicester Tigers at the end of the 2007 Rugby World Cup after signing a two-and-a-half-year contract with the English side.

Mauger captained the New Zealand Under-21 team to success in the International Under-21 Tournaments in 2000 and 2001. He made his All Blacks début in 2001.

He is the younger brother of Nathan Mauger and his uncles are former All Blacks Graeme Bachop and Stephen Bachop. His great-uncle, Ivan Mauger, is a former six time Speedway World Champion.

In March 2010, Mauger announced his retirement due to a back injury. He had attended clinics in the United Kingdom and Germany in his bid to overcome the injury but had been unable to complete training sessions without breaking down. In June 2010 he is returning with his family to live in his native New Zealand where he hopes to remain involved with rugby union in a coaching role.
