Sam Henwood

Samuel Tamihana Henwood (born 28 March 1991) is a New Zealand rugby union player.

He currently plays for the Hurricanes in Super Rugby and Counties Manukau in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup.

He made his return to the National Provincial Competition in 2014, playing for the Counties Manukau Steelers.

During the 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 off-seasons, he played in Portugal for Clube de Tecnico who were coached by his former Counties Manukau teammate, Kane Hancy.

His second stint in Portugal was cut short when a season-ending injury to Mitchell Karpik left a spot open on the Chiefs Super Rugby roster, so he headed to Hamilton and made his super rugby debut in a match against the Force.
