Farewell Christian

Christian Cullen's retirement from rugby brings to an end a glorious career, but one latterly wracked with injury. Looking at the clip below, you can see why Munster fans were giddy with excitement at his signature in 2003. It never really happened for the 'Paekakariki Express' here however, due to persistent shoulder injuries.

Look back on his early glory as an All Black, and that distinctive, elusive running style. Thanks to Planet Rugby in The Irish Times for this clip, but really, who's going to type out a whole url from the paper? Dear, doddery old media!
