Justin Marshall was born on August 5, 1973, in Gore, New Zealand. He began his rugby career playing for his home province, Southland, between 1992 and 1994 as a teenager, after making the New Zealand Under 19s in 1992. His potential was identified early, leading to selections in the 1993-94 New Zealand Colts, the Divisional side for a Pacific Islands tour, and the New Zealand Development squad which toured Argentina in 1994. A pivotal moment in his early career was his transfer to Canterbury in 1995. That same year, he was blooded on the All Blacks tour of France and Italy, making his debut against France in a 37–12 victory at just 22 years old. He went on to become an automatic test choice from 1996, despite facing strong competition for his position from 1999 onwards.
Marshall played 81 tests for the All Blacks between 1995 and 2005, serving as captain for four tests in 1997 against England, Wales, and Ireland. He achieved a record of 61 wins, 1 draw, and 19 defeats during his international career, and remains the second most-capped scrum-half in All Blacks history, behind Aaron Smith. Marshall also holds the record for the most test tries by an All Blacks scrum-half, with 24. Domestically, he represented Canterbury in the National Provincial Championship and played for the Crusaders in the Super 12 competition from 1996 to 2005. He was part of Crusaders teams that won the Super 12 title five times and also secured the Ranfurly Shield and NPC first-division titles with Canterbury.
Following his decorated career in New Zealand, Marshall moved to Europe in 2005, playing for Leeds Tykes (2005–2006), Ospreys (2006–2008), Montpellier (2008–2009), and Saracens (2009–2010). After retiring from playing, he returned to New Zealand and began a successful career as a sports commentator for Sky Sports, providing analysis for All Blacks games and other provincial matches. In 2005, Marshall was appointed a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for his contributions to rugby, further solidifying his legacy in New Zealand sports.
