Sean Polwart (born 14 April 1990) is a former New Zealand rugby union player who played as a flanker for Auckland in the ITM Cup.[1]

He made his Auckland debut in 2010, and was signed by the Blues for the 2011 and 2012 seasons, making five appearances.[2][3] Additionally Polwart was a member of the Chiefs squad during the 2015 season, for whom he played in one match.[4]

Internationally, Polwart won the 2010 IRB Junior World Championship with the New Zealand Under 20 team, scoring 2 tries in 5 games.[5] He has also represented the Maori All Blacks.

In early 2017, Polwart announced his retirement from playing due to a serious concussion injury suffered in 2015 while training with the Chiefs.[6]
