Timeline

1983

Piri Awahou Tihou Weepu (born 7 September 1983) is a retired New Zealand rugby union player.

Weepu played most recently for Wairarapa Bush in the Heartland Championship.

Generally Weepu played as a half-back but also played at first five-eighth on occasion.

1987

There was great pressure on the All Blacks to win the Cup, not having won it since 1987.

This time round it looked to be New Zealand's year, but All Blacks playmaker Dan Carter was struck with a season-ending groin injury.

This caused much media attention, and betting odds in favor of the All Blacks began to decrease.

In the All Blacks vs Argentina quarter-final match, Weepu took on Carter's goal kicking duties.

Landing seven penalties, with only a missed conversion, Weepu was named Man of the Match, helping guide New Zealand to victory, as well as earning him the nicknames "Mr Fixit" and "saviour".

In the final against France he missed two penalties and a conversion; however, New Zealand emerged victorious due to a Tony Woodcock try and a Stephen Donald penalty.

2001

He attended Te Aute College where he was head boy in 2001.

After leaving school he played senior rugby with Hutt Old Boys Marist, under the tutelage of his mentor Derek Bruce, but returned to his roots and later joined Wainuiomata RFC with whom he remained affiliated throughout his professional career.

He first won national honours against Wales in 2004.

He represented the and in Super Rugby, and Wellington and Auckland in the Mitre 10 Cup.

He also had brief spells with several clubs in Europe.

Of the 71 tests he played in he was the haka leader in 51 of them (12 November 2005 – 22 June 2013); this is the most for any player since the introduction of Kapa o Pango in 2005 (tied with TJ Perenara for 51 in total).

26 times he led the Ka Mate version of the haka as well as 25 times the newer Kapa o Pango haka.

2006

During the 2006 Super 14 final, Weepu was knocked unconscious during an attempted tackle.

However, due to the bizarrely thick fog during the match, the team doctors were unable to see that he had been unconscious.

Weepu continued playing and went on to miss a tackle on Casey Laulala, conceding the match-winning try.

Later Weepu admitted that he could not remember the game at all.

Weepu was the third All Black to lead "Kapa o Pango" in a game on 22 July 2006 against the Springboks.

2007

Weepu was not selected for the 2007 Rugby World Cup squad, announced on 22 July 2007, with Crusaders halfback Andrew Ellis preferred.

In 2007 the Gold Coast Titans approached Weepu to play rugby league.

Titans CEO Michael Searle said "He's a good player with plenty of experience at the top level in rugby union, and it would be good to get him back to rugby league if we can."
