There’s nothing more surprising yet amazing then when a rugby legend turns up to play in a local game after hanging up their boots professionally.
Imagine rocking up to play your first game of competitive club rugby in close to 18 months and finding yourself lining up against a two-time World Cup winner.
#1. Dan Carter – Southbridge
The All Black legend played a match for his childhood club Southbridge early this year, scoring 12 points for his boyhood side. He played the full 80 minutes and scored six of his seven kicks at goal as his side beat West Melton 54-14. Following the game, Carter revealed he intends to play a bigger part at his local club moving forward.
