Isaac Boss (born 9 April 1980, in Tokoroa, New Zealand) is a New Zealand–born Irish rugby union footballer. His grandmother was born in Glenarm, County Antrim, thereby qualifying him to play for Ireland. His cousin is big Dave McAllister.
He plays scrum-half or fullback and has played for Leinster, Ulster and the Ireland national team. He weighs 88 kg and is 1.78 m tall.
He was part of the U19 New Zealand Rugby World Cup team in 1999 although his Irish ancestry means that he is qualified to play rugby for Ireland. He played in New Zealand for the Hautapu Rugby Club in Cambridge and for the Waikato in the National Provincial Championship. He also played for the Hurricanes and the Chiefs in the Super 12, where he was halfback for the Chiefs before the arrival of All Black Byron Kelleher. He made three substitute appearances for Ireland on the 2006 Southern Hemisphere Tour and started against Australia in the Autumn internationals.
Boss arrived in Ireland joining Ulster at the beginning of the 2005/06 season from his native New Zealand where he played for both Waikato (NPC) and the Wellington Hurricanes (Super 12). He was a key part of the 2005/06 Pro 12 winners team. He played 16 matches for Ulster in 2005/06 scoring 3 tries. The next season he played 16 matches scoring 2 tries. He played 15 matches in 2007/08 scoring 3 tries. He scored 3 more tries for Ulster in the next two seasons. A hugely popular player throughout his time at Ravenhill, he amassed over 100 Ulster caps, before transferring to Leinster ahead of the start of the 2010–11 season.
