Ben Austin Blair (born March 26 1979 in Westport, New Zealand) is a rugby union footballer who plays at a full-back for the Cardiff Blues, and previously played six games for the All Blacks. On his All Blacks debut in 2001, he scored 37 points (including three tries) against Ireland A at Ravenhill in Belfast, however as this was not a test match he was not capped. His first Test match appearance came in November that year against Scotland.
He has won the Super 12 with the Crusaders, the NPC and The Ranfurly Shield with Canterbury. He also scored an NPC First Division record of 37 points for Canterbury, against Counties Manukau in only his fourth NPC game.
He scored two tries in the EDF Energy Cup final against Gloucester at Twickenham on April 18 2009.[1]
