A host of New Zealand greats will wear the All Blacks jersey for the last time against South Africa
A slew of New Zealand greats will don the All Blacks jersey for the last time in the World Cup final against South Africa and the players left to carry on are determined they will bow out with the trophy, hooker Samisoni Taukei’aho said.
“I’m sure for them it’s all about what’s best for the team this week. We’ll be trying to send them off the way they deserve, which is with a victory.” Taukei’aho ran off the bench in the 44-6 defeat of Argentina in the semi-finals, relieving starting hooker Codie Taylor. However, Taukei’aho had only kind words for the battle-scarred 36-year-old who took him under his wing when he made his first All Blacks squad and helped him make it at the test level.
