Xavier Joseph Rush (born 13 July 1977 in Auckland) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He is a former All Black and currently plays professional rugby in Wales for Magners League-side Cardiff Blues where he is the former captain. He plays at number eight and is 1.87 m tall and weighs 108 kg.

Career

He played domestic rugby with Auckland in the National Provincial Championship and Super 12 side the Blues since 1997 to 2005. He won the NPC with Auckland in 2002 and the Super 12 with the Blues in 2003. He later captained both of these sides until the end of his contract with New Zealand Rugby where he managed to lift the Ranfurly Shield with Auckland in 2003. For his secondary school that he went to he got onto the centenary 1st XV where he was at number 8.

Despite a successful domestic rugby career, Rush never shone on international level, having only eight All Black test caps to his name. He was only 21 when he made his test debut against the Wallabies in 1998. He would only later play for the All Blacks for the 2004 Tri-Nations and against England and the Pacific Islanders.
