All Black legend Christian Cullen interviewed in Hong Kong


The good people at the Rugbyasia Channel managed to track down legendary All Black fullback Christian Cullen for a short interview recently in Hong Kong. Mixed in with match footage, if you’re a Cullen fan, this one is well worth watching.

A young Christian Cullen took the rugby world by storm as he broke onto the scene with an incredible performance at the Hong Kong Sevens tournament in 1996. He played an integral part in the final as New Zealand beat the powerful Fijians 19-17 in a classic final that included the likes of Waisale Serevi for Fiji, and Jonah Lomu for the men in black.

In this interview an extremely humble Cullen talks about that famous moment behind the posts, then goes on to name his best back three in the world, his favourite tries that he’s scored, and what he’d have done if he didn’t play rugby professionally.

A sumptuous runner with exceptional balance and an ability to glide through gaps at will, there’s no doubt that Cullen was the best attacking fullback of his generation. He wasn’t bad on defense either, and packed well above his weight as it was commonly known that he was one of the strongest All Blacks pound for pound come gym time.

Watching these clips brings back some fantastic memories and for those who haven’t seen them before, sit back and enjoy as the legend talks you through some of the defining moments of his Sevens and Test rugby career.
