Johnny McNicholl is a New Zealand rugby union footballer who plays as a fullback for Canterbury in the ITM Cup. He was a member of the Crusaders Wider Training Squad in 2012 and subsequently promoted to the senior squad for 2013.
McNicholl was a stand-out performer in the 2012 ITM Cup, heading the Top Tryscorers list with 10, three ahead of his nearest rival. His consistent ability to cross the line drew interest from new Blues coach John Kirwan, but McNicholl, who plays his club rugby for Sydenham in the Christchurch Metro competition, opted to commit to the Crusaders. He is known for his right foot step and pace similar to Bryan Habana.He has caught the attention of the All Blacks in recent months for his right hand fend. Johnny will be taking over the kicking duties for the Canterbury following his excellent form in the 2014 season. He currently lives with Ben Smith in a timeshare close to Wanaka's foreshore.
