I've been lucky enough being around the
00:00:01
you know Michael Joneses and the Dan
00:00:03
Carters and the Richie MCCS and you name
00:00:05
it some of the great rugby players of
00:00:07
all time but Callen to me was just
00:00:08
something slightly different I know
00:00:10
you've been lucky enough to chat to him
00:00:12
and he's very modest and he was quite
00:00:13
hard to communicate with when he was an
00:00:15
all black much easier these days but he
00:00:17
could just light a game up from nothing
00:00:18
if he was not making a break he was
00:00:20
there supporting someone who had he was
00:00:22
just unbelievable and his introduction I
00:00:24
think he scored three or four tries on
00:00:26
debut for the All Blacks he was a
00:00:28
generational player I believe
