Roger Randle earned just two test caps during the era where the All Blacks line up was dominated by the likes of New Zealand's finest in Jeff Wilson, Jonah Lomu, Tana Umaga and later on Doug Howlett That being said Randle enjoyed an incredible domestic and Super Rugby career that spanned over a decade.

Consequently, his All Black involvement was limited due to a serious achilles rupture playing for the Chiefs in 2003 prior to the World Cup.

The Rugby Almanack described him as 'a young newcomer with considerable potential' and chose him as one of their 'Five Promising Players'.

He made such an impression in his early games for Hawke's Bay that he appeared in an All Black trial in April 1995.

He was a prolific scorer in Ranfurly Shield rugby, including 14 tries in his first season with Waikato, playing for New Zealand Maori in a big win over England in 1998 and membership of the Sevens squads that won gold medals at the 1998 and 2002 Commonwealth Games.
