Welcome back to the boardroom for Episode 16 of The Chargedown. Mat Vowles and Jack Wunsch are back in the studio, and this week they are joined by Queanbeyan Whites forward and Brumbies Academy standout Jack Gordon.
The Queensland native sits down with the lads to break down his move south to the capital and his rapid progression through the ACT pathways. Jack spent his time with the Brumbies U19s across the 2024 and 2025 campaigns, before reflecting on his run in the inaugural Super Rugby Next Gen tournament earlier this year.
Off the field, Gordon chats about balancing the physical grind of first-grade footy with life on the tools as a full-time carpenter. Plus, the boys dig into Jack's essential off-pitch passions: a cold beer at the local, unashamedly tuning in to Home and Away, and his go-to playlist rotation stacked with house beats and Aussie rap.
In this episode:
- The Sunshine to ACT Shift: Jack on trading Queensland for the nation's capital and wearing the blue and white for the Queanbeyan Whites.
- Pathway Dominance: Stepping up through consecutive Brumbies U19s seasons and the Super Rugby Next Gen tournament.
- On the Tools: Balancing full-time carpentry work with high-performance rugby.
