Sam Cane made history during the 12-11 defeat to South Africa in Paris on Saturday by becoming the first player to receive a red card in a Rugby World Cup final.
WELLINGTON - All Blacks captain Sam Cane said Wednesday that he has been "pleasantly surprised" by support from New Zealand rugby fans following his red card at the World Cup.
Cane said the level of good wishes from their fans during the tournament in France had been overwhelming. "I felt like I let a lot of people down and feeling that support has certainly helped. On a personal level, I appreciate all the kind words. It means a heck of a lot." "My mum actually said to me if it was my boy who'd been in this situation, 'how would you want him to feel and you wouldn’t want him to beat himself up', so trying not to be too hard on myself," he added.
