Ben Herring (born 14 March 1980, Auckland, New Zealand) is a former rugby union player who played for Leicester Tigers in the Guinness Premiership. His position is flanker. Herring alarmingly missed out a 2007 Super 14 rugby contract with any New Zealand Super 14 team, and negotiated a move to join the Leicester Tigers in early 2007. In April 2009, Herring retired on medical advice after suffering a series of concussions.[1]
