John Hore (9 August 1907 – 7 July 1979) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A hooker and prop, Hore represented Otago at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks from 1928 to 1936.[1] He played 45 matches for the All Blacks including 10 internationals. During World War II Hore served as a warrant officer with the 2nd New Zealand Expeditionary Force (NZEF) in the Middle East, and after the end of the war was a selector of the 2nd NZEF "Kiwis" army team that toured Britain.[2]
