Ben Hyne (born 7 March 1994) is an Australian rugby union footballer who currently plays as a lock or loose forward for the Brumbies in the international Super Rugby competition.[1] Domestically, he turns out for Canberra Vikings in the National Rugby Championship.
A Queenslander by birth, Hyne was raised in Rockhampton, but attended school at Downlands College in Toowoomba. His first exposure to senior rugby was with Brothers Old Boys in the Queensland Premier Rugby competition in 2012. During his time with Brothers, he combined rugby with work as a carpenter.[1]
Hyne's breakthrough came in 2015 when he was selected for the Brisbane City side which competed in and won that year's National Rugby Championship. In total, he played in 9 of City's 11 games during the campaign and helped himself to 2 tries.[2][3]
Hyne moved to Canberra for the 2016 season and made some great friends playing for the Tuggeranong Vikings. Second row stocks were at an all time high at the club at that time. Friendships and a healthy rivalry were key pillars of success in the Valley and Vikings were the envy of other clubs in the competition.
