The young Taranaki player stepped into the big time of Sevens on debut, being selected for the famous Hong Kong Sevens in March 2015. His skills as both a forward and back saw him drafted into the New Zealand squad following a top performance at the National Sevens that year. He has not looked back.
As a former basketballer, his height and speed has made him invaluable in contesting the ball in the air and on attack. His versatility saw him earn seven caps in the 2015/16 season.
He cites his brother Jackson who has played sevens for New Zealand and fifteens for Taranaki as his inspiration for his blossoming rugby career.
Rio 2016 was the first Olympic Games for Lewis.
