Brendon McCullum made a name for himself on the world stage donning gloves and pads for the Black Caps.
What might not be so well known about him is he once kept Dan Carter out of a South Island Secondary Schools rugby team.
And after to stellar international cricket career,McCullum has made his return to rugby following an 18-year break.
First game of Rugby for 18 years today for the United Matamata B team in the local derby. Loved it! Unfort we went down but had a lot of fun with the boys.
The former King's High School first XV first five-eighth ended his extended break from the sport lining up at fullback for United Matamata Sports B in their local derby against Hinuera B in the Waikato competition.
