	Doug Howlett Official Website - ABOUT DOUG
		Doug, described as "Mr Consistency", received this rating for his support work, work rate, superior speed and ability under the high ball.
		These characteristics were recognised early in Doug's career in his selection for New Zealand at the under 16 level, New Zealand Secondary Schools, New Zealand Colts and, as a teenager, the youngest debutant at the time with games for the Blues, Highlander and the Hurricanes.
		Doug's work rate and scoring ability saw him equal Joeli Vidiri's record of 10 tries in a season last year and this year pass that figure.
