New Zealand rugby legend Sam Cane, 32, has announced he’ll retire from international rugby at the end of 2024. The All Blacks skipper, who led the team to a World Cup final last year, will shift focus to family life and a new chapter with Tokyo-based Suntory Goliath. 🌏✨
Cane, a veteran of 95 Tests and 27 matches as captain, called the decision \"very hard\" but necessary to secure his family’s future. His career highlights include lifting the 2015 Rugby World Cup trophy and leading the Waikato Chiefs to two Super Rugby titles. 🏆
Since taking the captaincy in 2020, Cane navigated highs and lows, including New Zealand’s nail-biting 2023 World Cup loss to South Africa. His move to Japan follows a common trend among players seeking lucrative club deals while prioritizing personal milestones. 💼👨👩👧
Fans worldwide are sharing tributes online, celebrating his grit and leadership. What’s next for the All Blacks? Stay tuned for updates! 🔄
