Henry Paul (born 10 February 1974) is a former dual code rugby league and rugby union international. Paul represented New Zealand in rugby league and England in rugby union and rugby sevens. He once held the world record for the most consecutive kicks on the field, a record now held by Neil Jenkins.
Paul's usual position is at loose forward/Lock. He can also operate in the back row. He made his name as a dynamic stand-off. He is currently playing at centre for rugby union, and has previously played at fly-half.
He currently lives in Leeds with his girlfriend, close to his brother Robbie Hunter-Paul, also a New Zealand international.
Born in Tokoroa, New Zealand, Paul started playing rugby union at the age of three for Ponsonby Rugby Football Club and then rugby league for the Te Atatu Roosters. Later, during his time at Rutherford High School (1990), he became a highly talented player at under-16 level, where he led his team to break many Auckland club rugby league team and individual records. The following year, Paul moved to the Point Chevalier Pirates where he continued to harness his talents as one of the most talented junior rugby league players in the history of Auckland Rugby League.
