James Neil Coe (born 21 May 1964) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player. [1]

A Glenbrook steel worker, Coe was a New Zealand Colts representative in 1985 and had a long career as a Counties Manukau lock, making 179 provincial appearances from 1986 to 1999. He was a regular with New Zealand Maori during the 1990s and played the 1997 Super 12 season with the Auckland Blues. The closest he came to All Blacks honours was in 1992, when he was a reserve in the national squad. [2]

Coe was named in 2000 as the NPC's "greatest legend" for the competition's first 25 years by a panel of 50 journalists, with the award open to anyone who hadn't appeared in more than five Test matches with the All Blacks. [3]
