Ben Franks Bio
Ben Franks is the older brother of fellow All Black Owen Franks, and his versatility in the scrum makes him an important member of Graham Henry's World Cup squad. He made his debut in 2010 against Ireland, scoring a try in the process, on the back of some strong performances for the Crusaders.
