Leonard John Brake (born 3 July 1952) is a former New Zealand rugby union player and coach. A first five-eighth, Brake represented Bay of Plenty at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1976 tour of South America. He played five matches on that tour, but did not appear in either of the unofficial tests against Argentina. He went on to be the Bay of Plenty selector–coach between 1989 and 1991.[1]
