MAGS’ 2013 Head Boy Jack Goodhue has been named in the All Blacks squad to tour France, Scotland and Wales.
Jack has been picked in the midfield pack, following his call-up to the wider squad as injury cover during the British and Irish Lions tour earlier this year.
Jack went straight from MAGS’ First XV to a contract with Canterbury in the ITM Cup in 2014. In 2015 he and his twin brother Josh, who was First XV Captain in their final year at MAGS, helped the NZ Under 20 team win the Under 20 World Cup.
This season he returned to his home province of Northland for the Mitre 10 Cup, and played for the Crusaders in the Rugby Championship. He scored a try in the Crusaders’ 25-17 victory over the South African Lions in Championship final.
The All Blacks northern-hemisphere tour runs from November 5-26, beginning with a match against the Barbarians before games against France, a French XV, Scotland and Wales.
MAGS look forward to congratulating Jack in person at our Sports Prizegiving Dinner on Wednesday, October 25, where he will be a guest speaker.
