In 2011, Cane was part of the Junior World Championship- winning New Zealand Under 20 side, was the New Zealand Rugby Age Grade Player of the Year and was also nominated for International Age Grade Player award. He made his All Blacks debut in 2012 aged 20 and helped the Chiefs to back to back Investec Super Rugby titles in 2012 and 2013. A devastating tackler and scavenger, he continued to take his game to new levels in 2017. In the first Bledisloe Cup Test of the year, he led the All Blacks tackle count with a staggering 25 tackles, 10 more than the second placed All Black, captain Kieran Read. Cane first captained the All Blacks against Namibia at RWC 2015 and also led the side against Italy in 2016. Show less «
