All Blacks lock Thrush to join Gloucester

Gloucester say All Blacks lock Jeremy Thrush will be part of "one of the dominant forward packs in England".

Gloucester have announced the signing of New Zealand international lock Jeremy Thrush.

The 29-year-old Hurricanes second row, who has won 11 caps for the All Blacks, will join Gloucester after the World Cup later this year.

Thrush is expected to be part of the All Blacks squad that defends their world title in September and October.

He toured Europe with the world champions earlier this season.

"He has been a stand-out performer in Super Rugby over a number of seasons, and the experience he has gained being part of a successful All Blacks squad will be a key element in establishing Gloucester as one of the dominant forward packs in England," Gloucester rugby director David Humphreys said.
