Cam Roigard

Cam Roigard is a Hurricanes and New Zealand scrum-half who established himself as one of the more exciting No. 9s in Super Rugby Pacific with a breakout 2023 campaign. Born on 16 November 2000, the 25-year-old earned his All Blacks debut that same year, reflecting the sharp trajectory his career has taken since becoming a regular in the Hurricanes side. Physically, Roigard brings unusual size for a scrum-half, and that frame underpins a running game that is a genuine attacking weapon. He is as likely to take on the line himself from the base of a ruck as he is to deliver quick service to his first-five, and his carrying threat forces defences to post extra numbers around the breakdown — creating space further out for his backs. His distribution is clean, his territorial kicking game is a core part of his skillset, and he has the athleticism to support breaks across the field. For the Hurricanes, he is a central figure in how the franchise looks to play, with the scrum-half a key decision-maker in determining when to go wide, when to kick, and when to back himself around the ruck. On the international stage, he is part of a competitive mix for the All Blacks No. 9 jersey. With experience still accumulating and his prime years ahead, Roigard's ceiling remains among the more intriguing at the position.
