New Zealand hooker Campbell Robb played in Major League Rugby during the 2026 season. He represented Anthem RC for his entire MLR career.

A promising javelin thrower, when Campbell Robb was a schoolboy he ranked 5th at the New Zealand National Championship while also playing rugby in the Waikato academy system and representing the Chiefs U20s, playing against some of the best young players in one of the world’s best rugby nations. As he approached college age, Robb was inspired to try school in the USA and chose Central Washington University with their strong rugby program, arriving at the age of 19 to play under CWU head coach and fellow kiwi, Todd Thornley. He was named a D1A Collegiate All-American in 2025 and following his graduation, he declared for that year’s MLR draft. He was successfully drafted, 2nd overall by Anthem RC who officially announced his signing on 20th November 2025, alongside 1st Overall Pick Will Sherman.

Now domestically qualified through his time at CWU, Robb was already familiar with some aspects of Anthem RC having played alongside Will Sherman and under Anthem Head Coach Agustin Cavalieri in the summer of 2025 while touring South Africa with the USA U23s.
