Cane won the World Cup with New Zealand in 2015.
NEW ZEALAND CAPTAIN Sam Cane will retire from Test rugby at the end of 2024, the side said Monday, calling time on a World Cup winning 12-year international career.
“I had to weigh up everything and, in the end, with a young family, it seemed like the best decision to help set up our future,” he said. But his experience since taking over as All Blacks captain from Kieran Read in 2020 was not always smooth. During his tenure New Zealand lost a first Test series at home to Ireland in 2022 and a few weeks later suffered a shock defeat to Argentina in Christchurch.
