New Zealand rugby legend Sam Cane, 32, has announced heโ€™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. ๐ŸŒโœจ

Cane, a veteran of 95 Tests and 27 matches as captain, called the decision \"very hard\" but necessary to secure his familyโ€™s future. His career highlights include lifting the 2015 Rugby World Cup trophy and leading the Waikato Chiefs to two Super Rugby titles. ๐Ÿ†
