dion alan george waller -lrb- born 6 january 1974 in turangi -rrb- is a former new zealand rugby union footballer .
he played for the wellington lions , hurricanes , new zealand maori and all blacks .
he was one of the leading locks in new zealand rugby at provincial level with great lineout attributes , but never got a real opportunity to play internationally due in part to the quality of locks around and his many disciplinary lapses -lrb- of which he led the standings of red and yellow cards -rrb- .
he made his debut for king country in 1995 .
he debuted for the new zealand maori in 1996 and went on to collect 14 caps from then till his departure of new zealand in 2002 .
waller played for the now defunct central vikings 25 times and following their collapse moved to wellington , between 1999 and 2002 he played 43 matches .
the all blacks never really beckoned waller as he only made 3 appearances -lrb- 1 test -rrb- , even then he was brought along only after brad thorn withdrew .
one of his most well-known feats was the blatant professional foul in the dying minutes of the 2000 npc final , sealing the championship for wellington .
