Jack Goodhue would rather lose in heartbreaking fashion, like the Black Caps at the Cricket World Cup, than get "outplayed" by the opposition.
Speaking to Radio Sport Breakfast, the All Blacks midfielder reflected on the year and said he's excited to re-join Scott Robertson and the Crusaders next year.
When asked if he would prefer losing the way he did with the All Blacks in their semifinal against England, or like the Black Caps in their agonisingly close Super Over defeat, Goodhue maintained that his experience was worse, in his view.
