All Blacks skipper Sam Cane will share the Chiefs captaincy with Brad Weber. “Webby has a massive amount of respect from the group, he consistently leads on and off the field for us, so the co-captaincy role is a natural fit for him and I am really looking forward to working along-side him in leading this exciting Chiefs squad,” Cane said. McMillan is also confident the co-captaincy model is the right way forward. It is important for us that Sam has support, especially now with his role as All Blacks captain. Co-captaincy is not a foreign concept for the club and has been very successful in the past. We believe both Brad and Sam will complement each other well and have a great rapport with both players and coaches, McMillan said.

All Blacks great Dan Carter, the rugby world s record points scorer, has been showered with praise since confirming his retirement.
Jonny Wilkinson, Matt Giteau and Quade Cooper are among Dan Carter’s international rugby rivals to shower praise on the retired All Blacks superstar – and the Springboks have invited him for “a braai’’. Carter’s greatness has also been hailed by foreign rugby unions, with Australia, England, France, Japan and the British and Irish Lions posting tributes on their official social media accounts. The entire spectrum of the rugby world – from Carter’s Canterbury country club Southbridge – to European Club Rugby – organisers of the European Champions Cup – and the champion five-eighth’s former French club Racing 92 have made generous acknowledgements.
