Rhys Marshall (born 12 October 1992) is a New Zealand rugby union player. He plays hooker for the Super Rugby franchise the Chiefs.[1] Marshall also plays for Taranaki in the ITM Cup. He has international experience as well with the New Zealand under 20 side, having represented the Junior All Blacks at the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa.[2]
Following on from the Junior World Cup, he played for Hawke's Bay's Colts team.
Domestic career
In October 2012 it was announced that Marshall was the surprise name in the Chiefs squad for the 2013 Super Rugby season as he was still awaiting his ITM Cup debut.[3] He also went on to sign with Taranaki for 2013.[4]
He started his first Super Rugby game for the Chiefs 41-27 win over the Highlanders.[when?] At 20 years of age, Marshall had yet to play ITM Cup rugby, got the callup to start after former All Black Hikawera Elliot failed a fitness test, and with Mahonri Schwalger also injured, Marshall got the job.[5]
In 2013, he signed a contract extension with the Chiefs until 2015.[6]
