Olo Brown, Samoan-New Zealand rugby player

Olo Max Brown (born 24 October 1967 in Apia, Samoa) played 56 tests at prop for the New Zealand All Blacks rugby team from 1992 to 1998, missing only two tests in his career. He suffered neck and back injuries which ended his rugby playing days, and retired to become an accountant. By 2021, he had worked in private equity, including most recently being responsible for Investor Relations for the Punakaiki Fund.

Os du Randt and Jason Leonard regarded Brown as the best tighthead they ever scrummed against.
