Brodie McAlister

BIOGRAPHY

Brodie McAlister is a product of Shirley Boys’ High School in Christchurch, where he earned selection for the New Zealand Schools squad in 2015. He progressed through the Crusaders Academy before getting his provincial call up from Canterbury in 2018, followed by his Super Rugby debut with the Crusaders in 2019. Internationally, he’s represented the All Blacks XV in 2022, 2023 and 2024.

McAlister moved to the Chiefs for the 2025 season, where he has continued to impress with his work‑rate and physicality in the set piece. In addition to the consistency and strength he brings to scrums and line‑outs, McAlister’s ball‑carrying ability and mobility in tight phases make him effective in open play.
