<p>Yep, broke his leg in the second game (maybe) of the ABs tour of Australia in 1988 and went home. Came back a year or so later but was never the same.</p> -

Nah. He played the whole tour, and was good. Shattered his leg at the start of 89 playing for Auckland in a SPC match. -

Was at that game. <br><br>
Recall thinking he was thoroughly overrated when first picked. Then he did score a couple of good tries early 89. Then that. -

Any footage of this fella floating around?</p></blockquote>
I went looking for Waikato v Wales 1988 but couldn't find it. I think it was this match that got him the tour spot.<br><br>
Had a nice hour looking at some vintage late 80s rugby.<br><br>
Goldsmith does score twice in this romp tour match v WA: <a class="bbc_url" href="
Or here, a lot of play goes his way:<br><a class="bbc_url" href=" "> </a> -
