Henry Hutchison (rugby 7s) was in outstanding form during the 2021-22 World Rugby Sevens Series – notching up his 100th try and earning selection for his Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham.

Hutchison burst onto the scene at an early age, making his sevens’ debut in Cape Town in 2015, scoring 27 tries in his debut season and named World Rugby Sevens Rookie of the Year in 2015/16. He made his Olympic debut in Rio in 2016 where Australia finished 8th after going down in the quarter-finals to South Africa.

Following Rio, Henry returned to the 15-man game taking up a one-year deal with Super Rugby club, the Melbourne Rebels. He returned to the sevens’ program in 2018 and was named to the Australian side for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco. Henry made his second Olympic appearance at Tokyo 2020 where the Aussies were knocked out in the quarter-finals by eventual champions Fiji.

Henry attended St Kevin’s College in Melbourne and St Ignatius College (Riverview) in Sydney and is completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of NSW.
