Biography
Another of the Highlanders All Black Rugby World Cup winners, Colin Slade made his first class debut for Canterbury in the 2008 domestic competition and made an immediate impact. A versatile player who can play first five eight, wing or full back, he also has a strong kicking game both in general play and from the tee. His debut Super Rugby season was with the Crusaders; after 26 appearances he joined the Highlanders for their 2011 campaign. Slade will be looking for increased game time in 2013 following a spell on the sideline in 2012 due to serious injury.
