Sam Cane and his teammates arrived back in Auckland after their heartbreaking loss to South Africa in the Rugby World Cup final. Cane made history by becoming the first player to be sent off in a men’s World Cup final. Despite the disappointment, Cane revealed that his mother Kathy’s wise words helped him cope with the aftermath of his red card. She reminded him to be kind to himself and not beat himself up over the incident. Cane acknowledged that the memory of the red card will always stay with him and that it will take time to heal. Upon their arrival, the All Blacks were greeted by around 150 fans who showed their unwavering support. Cane expressed his gratitude for the overwhelming love and support they received from the New Zealand public, especially after the final. He was pleasantly surprised by how well the fans handled the team’s loss and thanked them on behalf of the entire team. When asked about the future, Cane remained non-committal about his captaincy and whether he had been in touch with the new head coach, Scott Robertson. He mentioned that he still had messages from his wife and mother that he hadn’t replied to yet and that it was too early to make a decision. Cane’s immediate plans include reuniting with his wife and son, who were on a later flight, and spending time with his grandparents and meeting his new niece in New Plymouth. Despite the disappointment, Cane remains optimistic and grateful for the support he has received.
