All Blacks Debut

His Test debut for the All Blacks was against Argentina on 23 June 2001 in Christchurch. With his size and athleticism, he has since established himself as a regular in the All Blacks side, and arguably one of the top locks in the world today.

Post World Cup

It was announced on 7 June 2006 that Jack had signed a 2-year contract with the newly formed Tasman Rugby Union. He spent two years with the English Premiership side Saracens joining after the 2007 Rugby World Cup,[1] joining another New Zealand player, Glen Jackson.

Re-signing with NZRU

In April 2009 he re-signed with the New Zealand Rugby Union until 2011.[2] He played with South African side Western Province and then made a return to Super 14 side Crusaders for the 2010 season.[3]
