Quinten Strange (born 21 August 1996) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays as a lock for Tasman in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup and for the Crusaders in the international Super Rugby competition.[1][2]
Youth Career
Strange was raised in the rural community of Collingwood and attended high school at Nelson College during which time he captained their rugby first XV.[1][2]
Senior Career
He was named in the Tasman Makos squad for the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup aged just 19 and instantly established himself as a first-team regular, making 11 appearances, 10 of which were from the start and bagging 2 tries as the Nelson-based outfit finished runners up in that season's Premiership.[3]
Super Rugby
After just one season and 11 appearances at provincial level, he was handed a Super Rugby contract by the Crusaders ahead of the 2017 Super Rugby season. The move would seem him link up with his former New Zealand Under-20 coach Scott Robertson who was in his debut season with the Crusaders having formerly coached Canterbury.[1]
International
Strange was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 side which competed in the 2016 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in England where he made 5 appearances and scored 2 tries.[3][4]
