Career

Weber started his senior career playing for the Otago Razorbacks whilst studying for an applied science degree at Otago University. He made nine appearances during the 2012 ITM Cup but couldn't dislodge Fumiaki Tanaka as first choice half-back.

2013 didn't start well for him as rising-star Josh Renton was named ahead of him in the Dunedin teams ITM Cup squad and he began to focus more on school than rugby. However, a month into the season he received a call from Waikato coach Johnny Walters who wanted to take him north to provide more competition for halfbacks Mick Snowden and Kylem O'Donnell.[1] His switch was more successful than he could have imagined as a series of good performances saw him named in the Chiefs wider training group ahead for the 2014 Super Rugby season.[4] Tawera Kerr-Barlow and Augustine Pulu were selected as the defending champions first-choice halfbacks, however an injury to Kerr-Barlow prior to the season opener against the Crusaders opened the door for Weber, who made his Super Rugby debut as a second-half substitute in an 18-10 win for the Chiefs.[5]

Weber was named captain of the Waikato ITM Cup squad for the 2014 ITM Cup season.[6] and co-captain with Whetu Douglas for the 2015 ITM Cup season.[7]

At the end of the 2015 ITM Cup season, after scoring a second half hat trick in the final match against Hawke's Bay to win the Ranfurly Shield for Waikato, it was announced that Weber had signed a contract to return to Napier to play for Hawke's Bay for the 2016 ITM Cup season.[8]

International career

Weber was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 side which won the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship in Italy. He largely served as back up to TJ Perenara during the competition.[9]

Weber made his All Blacks debut against Samoa on 8 July 2015.[10]
