Colin Slade (born 10 October 1987) is a rugby union footballer who plays for Pau, and previously represented the Crusaders in the Super Rugby competition and Canterbury in the ITM Cup, playing primarily at first five-eighth, as well as all other backline positions on occasions. He was first selected for the All Blacks in 2009. He is a key member of 2011 Rugby World Cup winning team. He also included in the 2015 Rugby World Cup, but played in only one match against Namibia. He thus became one of only twenty dual Rugby Union World Cup winners.
While at Christchurch Boys' High School, Slade played two years for the 1st XV, winning two National titles in both years playing alongside fellow All Blacks Matt Todd and Owen Franks as well as former Crusaders Nasi Manu and Tim Bateman. D
Slade made his debut for Canterbury playing first five in the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup, and scored 86 points for his side as Canterbury won the competition. His performances improved substantially as the season progressed and with Dan Carter unavailable and Stephen Brett injured, Slade became the first choice 10 for the Canterbury side.
