rugby union professional who currently plays forCastres Olympique . Senio is also a former All Black, making his debut after coming on forPiri Weepu against Australia in New Zealand's 34–24 win in the final match of the2005 Tri Nations Series and is currently a Junior All Black. That is Senio's only test thus far into his career. During his time at Bay of Plenty, Senio played in a tour match against theBritish and Irish Lions Senio signed a two year deal with the
Canterbury Rugby Football Union (CRFU) on26 September ,2005 , making him eligible to play for the Crusaders, after former Canterbury and Crusaders half-back,Justin Marshall , left to play in England following the2005 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand . Senio also left after playing second fiddle to starting Chiefs' half-back,Byron Kelleher , who is also an All Black. Many were surprised by Senio's decision to leave Bay of Plenty (BoP), especially after he told his team mates that he was to stay with the province. BoP received $50,000NZD from the CRFU because of Senio's All Black status.Senio was expected to be the Crusaders first choice scrum-half in the
2006 Super 14 season . After being the starting scrum-half for the first part of the season, Senio found himself relegated to the bench, behind rookieAndrew Ellis who forced his way into the starting line up. However, Ellis was injured in the semi-final against the Bulls and Senio found himself starting the2006 Super 14 Final against the Hurricanes. Senio was the Crusaders only half-back for the match, as coachRobbie Deans opted not to select 3rd choice half-back Matt France. This meant that if Senio was injured, Daniel Carter would move from fly-half to half-back. The day after the final, Senio was selected for theJunior All Blacks to play in the inauguralPacific Five Nations tournament.Senio is married to Silver Fern
Anna Senio and is brother toASM Clermont Auvergne srum-halfJohn Senio . Senio is also the brother ofDimitri Senio , who plays rugby union in France for Albi.References
