Arthur Grahn Jennings (born 15 June 1940) is a Fijian-born former New Zealand rugby union player. A lock, Jennings represented Bay of Plenty at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1967 tour of Britain, France and Canada. He played six games for the All Blacks on that tour but did not appear in any test matches.[1] Of Fijian, Tongan and English ancestry,[2] Jennings was born in Fiji but was educated in New Zealand from an early age.[1] He was the first Fijian to play for the All Blacks,[3] and is the uncle of Tongan and Australian rugby league representative Michael Jennings.[2]
