Jack Maddocks named in Wallabies side to play All Blacks

Former Eastern Suburbs fullback Jack Maddocks has been named on the Wallabies bench ahead of Saturday night's Bledisloe Cup match against the All Blacks. Reece Hodge will start at outside centre, while Tatafu Polota-Nau will make his Wallabies return in the No.2 jersey. Matt Toomua has also been named to potentially make his Wallabies return after returning from the UK last month. The selection of 21-year old Maddocks caps a remarkable few years for the outside back, who focussed his efforts on a budding cricket career rather than rugby during school.
