Joseph Astbury Warbrick (born January 1, 1862 in Rotorua , † August 3, 1903 in Waimangu Valley ) was a New Zealand rugby player .
Life
He was a Māori from the Ngāti Rangitihi tribe and grew up in Auckland . At the age of 15 he played in 1877 for the club Ponsonby RFC in Auckland and was accepted into the selection team of the Auckland RFU . This made him the youngest player in the New Zealand top division. He became the 17th national rugby player and took part in the All Blacks' first team in Australia in 1884 . He played seven games and scored twelve points.
In 1888 he was one of the main organizers of the privately funded tour of the New Zealand Natives of New Zealand, Australia and the British Isles, which was carried out in 1888/89 . He was named as team captain and player in this team, but played none of the tour's 107 games due to injury. He then largely withdrew from rugby . In 2008 Warbrick and the New Zealand Natives 1888-1889 team were inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame .
His brother Alfred Patchet Warbrick (1860-1940) was the main tourist guide in the area of the Waimangu Valley with the then active Waimangu -Geysir . Joseph also worked as a tourist guide after retiring from sports. He and three other tourists were killed in an eruption of the geyser when he wanted to bring back a woman from the group who had come too close to the geyser to be able to take better photos. Two minutes later, the geyser erupted and the hot water killed all four people on the spot. A sinter terrace in the valley was named after him Warbrick Terrace .
