Timeline

1975

Anton David Oliver (born 9 September 1975) is a retired New Zealand rugby union player.

Previously, he played as a hooker for Marlborough (one of the predecessors to today's Tasman side) and Otago in the National Provincial Championship and Air New Zealand Cup, and spent twelve seasons with the Highlanders in Super Rugby.

He earned 59 caps for his country and for a period was All Blacks captain.

Anton's father Frank Oliver was also an All Blacks captain, making them the first and only father-son All Black captains in history.

Oliver was born 9 September 1975 in Invercargill and spent the early years of his life in several small towns in the deep south of NZ.

1978

Father Frank Oliver captained the All Blacks in 1978 and was one of the hardmen of New Zealand rugby.

1993

When he was seven he moved to Blenheim where he went on to be Head Boy of Marlborough Boys' College in 1993.

During this time, Anton made all of the possible New Zealand age group rugby teams – Under17, Under19, Under21, and the NZ Secondary Schools Team – captaining them all.

He initially played at number 8 for the NZ under 17s.

The following year he changed positions to hooker and made his provincial debut for Marlborough against Nelson Bays in when he was sixteen.

He also represented NZ Secondary schools and 19s in 1993 – captaining both teams.

1994

In 1994, he represented NZ Under 19s (again the captain) and NZ Under 21s, and represented the Under 21s for the next two years – captaining the team in his last year.

Anton then went to Dunedin in 1994 to study at the University of Otago and ended up spending his next 14 years there.

He made his debut for the Otago first team in 1994 and played for Otago for 13 years.

Oliver also played for the Highlanders rugby team and held the record for the most games for the Highlanders at 127.

Oliver captained both teams.

He also completed degrees in commerce (finance) and physical education while being a full professional rugby player.

1995

Oliver first made the All Blacks as a reserve for a Bledisloe cup test match in 1995 aged 19.

He was drafted directly from the NZ U21s team.

He played his first game for the All Blacks the following year against Eastern Province in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

Remarkably, almost twenty years to the day after his father played his first game for the All Blacks on the same ground against the same opposition.

1997

Oliver played his first test match against Fiji 1997.

2001

Oliver created the first father and son captain combination for the All Blacks when he was appointed as All Blacks captain in 2001.

2002

He then ruptured his Achilles tendon at the end of the Super 12 season in 2002, which forced him to miss the entire All Black season.

Oliver then made the All Blacks the following year, Reuben Thorne was now the captain.

2004

Oliver was dropped for the World Cup in Australia and was a surprise recall to the team in 2004 for the end of the year tour reflecting a desire by the coaching staff for the All Blacks to regain the forward power that so characterised the All Black team of 1995–97.

2005

Oliver was labelled as the "thinking man's rugby player" and in his book autobiography "Anton Oliver, Inside" (2005) he wrote about many issues that face the modern day All Blacks that had not been discussed before.

'Inside' was widely regarded as erudite, insightful and not the norm for a rugby book.

2007

From then until his retirement from international rugby after the 2007 Rugby World Cup, he was either the first choice hooker for the All Blacks or contending for first choice with Keven Mealamu.

In total he played 298 first class games.[2] and was in a member of the All Blacks for thirteen years – an astonishingly long time and a testament to Oliver's ability, resilience and tenacity.

In May 2007, Anton Oliver signed a two-year contract to play with French rugby club Toulon after the completion of the Rugby World Cup.

He joined up with legends of the world rugby game, including Springbok Victor Matfield, former Wallaby Captain George Gregan, former All Black Andrew Mehrtens and former All Black captain Tana Umaga.

After 14 years in Otago playing rugby Oliver decided that it was time for a change.

Turning down numerous offers to play rugby in the United Kingdom Oliver chose to play rugby in France, which he felt would be more suited to his love of culture.

Oliver helped Toulon win the Pro D2 title and earn automatic promotion to the following season's Top 14.

He then decided to leave Toulon after only one year and announced his retirement from professional rugby, heading to the University of Oxford to study for a postgraduate degree.

At the University of Oxford, Oliver read for an MSc in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management at Worcester College.

His dissertation involved him travelling to the Ringgolds Islands, an outlying archipelago of Fiji, for a month of research on the relationship between poverty and conservation.

2008

He played a major role in the 2008 Varsity Match against Cambridge, the first victory for Oxford in four years.[4][5]

2013

His brother, James Oliver, played as a flanker and number 8 for Horowhenua-Kapiti (11 games), Manawatu (43 games) and captained the New Zealand Universities team in 2013.
