Everyone's favourite loose forward Jerry Collins, the three time All-Black captain, try scorer in the world cu and man famous for pissing into a bucket on the sidelines, is calling it a day on playing in New Zealand.
It seems he wants to retire from playing in NZ, which, unless he expresses a wish to keep being an All Black, will mean the end of his competitive international career. However, he will be on the bench for the Baa Baa's tonight, and playing for themon Saturday versus England.
Collins (and moreso his cousin) really got me hooked on Southern Hemisphere rugby. It's a shame I'll not see him playng in an All Black shirt, should he not want to
I'd have thought he'd have at least pushed on a few more games for the half a century mark of caps. That's over 10 of the WC squad now gone, with over ten uncapped players brought in for the first training squad for the clash with Ireland. (Albeit partially due to the Carter and co. being in the S14 finals.)
Here's a pretty picture:
And some
sauce.
