Jackson Hemopo Biography

Jackson Hemopo is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on November 14, 1993 in Whanganui, Whanganui, New Zealand. Jackson Nikora Hemopo (born 14 November 1993) is a New Zealand All Black and rugby union player who currently plays as a lock or loose forward for Manawatu in New Zealand’s domestic Mitre 10 Cup and the Highlanders in the international Super Rugby competition.

At the end of 2015, it was announced that Hemopo would be heading home to join Manawatu for the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup. The Turbos, in their first season back in the Championship following a disappointing 1-year stay in the Premership, could only finish in 5th place which saw them miss out on the promotion playoffs, however, Hemopo himself was in good form, playing in all 10 of their regular season matches and scoring 1 try.

However, he had done enough to earn a spot in the wider training group for the 2016 season where strong competition for places among the Highlanders forwards meant that he had to spend the season on the sidelines kicking his heels as the men from Dunedin reached the tournament semi-finals before being downed by the Lions in Johannesburg.

Born in Whanganui in New Zealand’s Manawatu-Wanganui region, Hemopo was educated at Palmerston North Boys’ High School, in Palmerston North, the biggest town in his home region. He played first XV rugby while at school and after graduating headed south to Dunedin where he began playing for the Green Island rugby club in Otago’s Premier club rugby competition. He had one season with the Southern club before transferring back to Green Island and winning the Dunedin club player of the year award in 2016.

Although not initially named in the Highlanders squad for the 2015 Super Rugby season, injuries among the franchise’s forward pack saw the versatile Hemopo called up to provide short-term cover midway through the year. He debuted in a 44-7 victory away to the Blues on 12 June 2015 and that was to prove to be his only appearance during what was the Highlanders maiden Super Rugby winning season.

Hemopo first made the Otago squad ahead of the 2014 ITM Cup and went on to play all 10 of their games during what proved to be a difficult year, with an inexperienced side finishing 6th on the Championship log, comfortably outside the playoff places. The Razorbacks were in better form in 2015, ending up 3rd in the championship table before being comprehensively defeated by Wellington in the semi-finals. Hemopo managed just 6 appearances and 1 try in his second campaign of domestic rugby in Dunedin.

Despite not making any appearances through 2016, it was announced in October of that year that Hemopo had signed a new 3-year deal with the Highlanders that would see him remain a member of the wider training group in 2017 before becoming a full squad member for 2018 and 2019.
