Tyrel Lomax

Tyrel Lomax, born on 16 March 1996, is a New Zealand tighthead prop and a cornerstone of both the Hurricanes and All Blacks forward packs. Since making his Test debut in 2018, he has built up a substantial body of international caps and established himself as one of the most technically proficient scrummagers in world rugby. Lomax's game is built on powerful, disciplined scrummaging and the ability to go long minutes in physically demanding Test matches. Around the park he offers the mobility and work rate required of a modern prop, making him a complete option at the highest level. At the Hurricanes he has been part of the franchise's core forward leadership, providing set-piece authority that underpins their Super Rugby Pacific ambitions. For the All Blacks, Lomax has become a trusted starter in major Tests, and his ongoing development marks him as a central figure in New Zealand's front-row plans for years to come.
