Kevin Senio (born July 6, 1978) is a former New Zealand
Junior All Black. That is Senio's only test thus far into his career. During his time at Bay of Plenty, Senio played in a tour match against the British & Irish Lions
and was later called into the Junior All Blacks tour of Australia against Australia A.
Senio signed a two-year deal with the Canterbury Rugby Football Union (CRFU) on 26 September 2005, making him eligible to play for the Crusaders, after former Canterbury and Crusaders half-back, Justin Marshall, left to play in England following the 2005 British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand. Senio also left after playing second fiddle to starting Chiefs' half-back, Byron Kelleher, who is also an All Black.
After being the starting scrum-half for the first part of the season, Senio found himself battling it out for regular game time with rookie
