Wayne Wilson Ormond (born 9 August 1977) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1]
Ormond comes from the small community of Tihoi, near Taupō in Waikato.[2]
A blindside flanker and lock, Ormond is best remembered for being captain of the first Bay of Plenty team to claim the Ranfurly Shield, with a 33–28 upset over Auckland in 2004. He was named the NPC's most valuable player for 2004 and got nominated for that year's Halberg Awards.[3] The All Black selectors however overlooked Ormond for the 2004 end-of-year rugby union internationals, in favour of Jerry Collins and an uncapped Jerome Kaino.[4]
Ormond competed with the Chiefs from 2003 to 2005 and won four caps for New Zealand Maori.[5] He headed overseas to Japan in 2006 and spent five seasons with Fukuoka club Coca-Cola Red Sparks.[6] On his return to New Zealand, Ormond made a solitary appearance for King Country, having moved back to his family farm in Tihoi.[7]
