Josh Beehre

Josh Beehre is a New Zealand flanker on the books of the Blues, the Auckland-based franchise competing in Super Rugby Pacific. Born in March 2002, the back-rower sits in the bracket of young loose forwards being groomed within one of the most competitive provincial systems in world rugby. The Blues' forward pack is built around mobility, ball-carrying weight, and contest at the breakdown — the core demands of a modern openside or blindside flanker. Beehre's brief in that environment is to add work-rate around the field, support the carrier, and contribute to defensive structure across the wider channels. New Zealand's depth at flanker means progression through the franchise pecking order is hard-earned, with development built around club rugby in Auckland's premier competitions and Super Rugby cameos. For Beehre, continued exposure at this level is the key step in pressing for a more permanent role in the Blues' loose forward rotation.
