Kane Seth Hames (born 28 August 1988) is a New Zealand rugby union player. A prop, he represented Tasman at a provincial level from 2015 to 2018, having also played for Template:Rut Bay of Plenty from 2013 to 2014, and for the All Blacks in 2016 and 2017.[1] Hames has not played any rugby since 2017, due to injury.

Career

In Super Rugby, Hames played two seasons for the Template:Rut Highlanders in 2014 and 2015, before moving to the Template:Rut Chiefs for the 2016 competition.[1] Hames became a regular for the Chiefs and played almost every game for them in 2017. However, due to concussion symptoms, he did not play in any Super Rugby matches in 2018.

International

Affiliating to Ngāi Tūhoe and Ngāti Porou, Hames made his first appearance for the Māori All Blacks in 2013.[2] Hames started for the Maori All Blacks against the British and Irish Lions in 2017, playing well until he was subbed off in the 62nd minute for Hurricanes prop Chris Eves.

He made his debut for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, in 2016, coming off the bench in the first test against Australia.[3] Hames was not selected for the All Blacks again until the 2017 Rugby Championship where he was called up as injury replacement for a concussed Wyatt Crockett. Hames came off the bench in the 35–29 win against Australia in the second Bledisloe Cup test for the year, replacing Joe Moody. Moody was injured in the first test against Argentina for the year, so Hames started in the first test against South Africa, which was a record 57–0 win, South Africa's worst defeat in history.

Hames was subbed off in the 38th minute of the third Bledisloe Cup test against Australia after taking a serious head knock, being replaced by Crockett. The test ended in a 23–18 loss. Hames made a quick recovery from injury to start against the Barbarians at Twickenham and started in all three tests on the end-of-year tour, ending the 2017 season with what was arguably his best performance of his career against Scotland in the 22–17 win, as well as a 60-minute performance against Wales in the 33–18 win.
