Rugby career

In 2006 Karauria-Henry left New Zealand to play rugby league in Australia for the Cronulla Sharks in the NSW Cup competition. He was just 16 at the time and attended Endeavour Sports High in Sydney.[1]

He switched codes in 2009 to play rugby union for Southern Districts and became qualified to play for Australia.[1] Selected in the national sevens team, Karauria-Henry was Australia's leading try scorer during the 2009–10 Sevens World Series circuit. He signed with the Brumbies in 2010 and, in October that year, was selected to join the Wallabies training squad for the 2010 Spring Tour.

Karauria-Henry joined the NSW Waratahs for a further two seasons of Super Rugby,[1] before moving to Japan where he signed with NTT Com.
