    Returning flanker Sam Cane admits it's pretty unique to have so many All Blacks captains assembled in one squad as they prepare for their next challenge against Wales in Cardiff

    Returning flanker Sam Cane admits it's pretty unique to have so many All Blacks captains assembled in one squad as they prepare for their next challenge against Wales in Cardiff


    Cane captained the All Blacks last year before a pectoral injury sidelined him for most of this season, with Sam Whitelock, Ardie Savea and Brodie Retallick all leading the side this year.

    Cane says he has no issues not being captain on the tour, as he tries to get himself back up to speed.
