📣 Big news in the rugby world! New Zealand's legendary captain, Sam Cane, is hanging up his boots from international rugby at the end of 2024. 😱
After an epic 12-year career, including lifting the Rugby World Cup trophy and leading the All Blacks in 95 Tests (27 as captain), the 32-year-old superstar has decided it's time for the next chapter.
Sam announced on Monday that he'll be moving to Tokyo to sign a long-term contract with Suntory Goliath. 🇯🇵✨
Cane said the offer was just too good to pass up, especially with a young family to think about. \"I had to weigh up everything and, in the end, it seemed like the best decision to help set up our future,\" he shared.
\"It was a very hard one because I love the teams that I represent here in New Zealand,\" he added. ❤️
While fans might be tearing up 😢 at the thought of the All Blacks without Cane, it's exciting to see what adventures await him in Japan.
From winning the World Cup in 2015 to clinching Super Rugby championships with the Waikato Chiefs, Sam Cane's career is nothing short of legendary. 🏆
As he passes the torch, all we can say is: Thank you, Sam, for all the unforgettable moments on the field! 🙌
