Wallabies fullback scores wonder try in the Top 14

Seven times capped Wallaby Jack Maddocks has become one of Australian Rugby’s forgotten men.

Since moving to the Top 14 in 2021, the 27-year-old former Melbourne Rebel and Waratah has been away from the limelight of Australian Rugby.

Yet, this does not mean he has not been a strong performer for the French side, with whom he signed a two-year extension in December 2022.

Playing for Pau in their Top 14 clash with Bayonne this weekend, Maddocks scored a try that may well make new Wallabies boss Joe Schmidt sit up and take notice.

Receiving a long kick, Maddocks split the Bayonne defence with some quick footwork before leaving their last line of defence flat-footed to dive over the line.

Pau would go on to win a wild contest 42 – 40 to solidify their place in the top 6 on the table.
