All Blacks captain Sam Cane has issued an apology on social media after kicking a pitch invader throughout his workforce’s 41-12 victory over Los Pumas within the opening match of the Rugby Championship in Mendoza.

The incident occurred after the sport had concluded, because the invader dashed across the again of the All Blacks workforce, who had been within the midst of their post-match debrief. In a second of thoughtlessness, Cane reacted by kicking the younger fan.

Realizing his mistake, Cane took to Instagram to precise his regret and guarantee followers that he supposed to make amends.

“Tonight after the game someone ran onto the pitch and I made an error in judgement and played a part in stopping him.” Cane’s Instagram post said.

“I acknowledge this was not my role and it is out of character for me to act in such a way.

“I am really sorry and am disappointed in myself. I am trying my best to contact the individual to apologise and make things right.”
