Cullen was my first genuine man-crush. I farking loved that guy and couldn't believe how he was treated by Mitchell. Win/lose/draw, pretty much any game he was in had something memorable.
BB gives me the same feeling. Hope he kicks on a little longer than Cullen, who was effectively gone from NZ aged 27. Fark you again Mitchell/Deans.
Oh yeah that 13, 14 crap was kneejerk bullshit to the 98 season. Apparently Cullen needed to touch the ball more and Goldie was a better fullback. Dickheads.

100% same for me. I wasn't raised in a rugby family and Cully is the reason I started watching rugby, and it seems to consume a lot of my life these days.

@Rancid-Schnitzel at the time I was working in a sports shop, we had a picture of cully on the wall, I don't know that my boss ever realized the poster was for Mizuno boots that the ABs wore at this time, cos we didn't sell Mizuno gear haha

Watching the documentary from earlier on the year on Sky about the 1996 AB series win in SA.
Cullen was in his first year in the team and was just insanely good. Pre-knee injury, he was a monster.
I must try and find those rugby matches in full on YouTube -- there were just all black and springbok greats. Mark Andrews for the Bokke was off the charts good - as good a lock as you'd ever see. Combined with Joost vdw and their monster pack (Os Du Randt), it was a hell of an achievement.
Also amazing to see Zinny kicking a 35 m droppie at a critical time in the series decider ... that guy was just incredible. Skill levels up the wazoo

@Nepia Ha, yes, I think you are right.
I sent the following to a SA friend, some fantastic rugby.
Top 10 Springbok victories over the All Blacks
The Springboks and All Blacks share one of the fiercest rivalries in world rugby. They first locked horns in 1921 and have been at it ever since with the winner often viewed as the best team in the world.
