Biography
Flying Kiwi winger scored two great tries, including a spectacular intercept, to set up NZ's 14-all draw in the First Test in Auckland in 1993. Hoppe played in all three Tests of the Trans Tasman series but was cut from the Canberra club at year's end for signing a letter of intent with the Auckland Warriors. After playing in two Tests against Great Britain on the 1993-94 Kiwi tour of England and France he spent the 1994 season giving good service to Norths - ironically taking the place of his NZ Test teammate Darryl Halligan. Hoppe played for the Warriors in the club’s formative years before signing with St Helens for three seasons (1999-01). In 2000 he represented the Maori team in the World Cup.

Your Say
Mike McMahon says: Choppy was a full blown superstar in every right, on and off the field . He made an instant impact when he came to saints as a winger , his vision and knowledge of the game is second to none ,,, and he always found his way to the try line.
A hard working athlete with an amazing die hard attitude.
We knew each off the the pitch with Sean only living round the corner from me,,, after the game finished Sean went into renovating houses ,,, and in true choppy fashion became very good very quickly ,,, good luck were ever ya are chops
