Schoolboy team-mates to face-off as Bledisloe rivals

Jack Goodhue and Irae Simone.

All Blacks centre Jack Goodhue says old ties will count for nothing this weekend as he attempts to ruin former high-school teammate Irae Simone's Test debut for the Wallabies in Sydney.

The pair formed a strong centres partnership playing schoolboy rugby together at Auckland's Mount Albert Grammar in 2013 when their team won 17 of its 20 matches.

Goodhue said they had an "awesome" time playing together.

The Wallabies host the All Blacks in Sydney at 8.45pm tomorrow.
