Brendon McCullum's return to the rugby field was more than a one-off. But his comeback to the 15-man game appears to have run its course.
The former Black Caps captain fronted in the No.10 jersey again from the United Matamata B side at the weekend, helping the side to a
win.
Speaking to the Waikato Rugby Union after the match, McCullum said he felt like he'd remembered "none" of the skills he had as a first XV star in high school.
"It's definitely taken a long time to just remember stuff. I'm not trying to judge it too much to be honest, just trying to have a bit of fun and not make too many mistakes and just make a bit of a contribution.
"The legs aren't as willing as what they were, and I probably don't have as many kilos on me as I had back then, the hits hurt a little bit more so you just try to stay out of the action a little bit."
