Kara A. Pryor (born 2 April 1991) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a loose forward.
He debuted for the Taniwha at the start of the 2014 season and instantly became an important member of their side, forming a strong loose forward combination along with his brother as well as Tongan international Jack Ram.
2016 saw a rise in performances for the Taniwha but with little to show for it in terms of results, only 1 win in 10 games again confined them to the Championship wooden spoon, Pryor however, was in fine form.
[2][4] Fine form domestically for Auckland and later Northland brought Pryor to the attention of local Super Rugby franchise, the Blues.
The majority of his appearances in his first season came from the replacements bench as he faced stiff competition from the other Blues loose forwards such as All Blacks; Jerome Kaino and Steve Luatua.
