Simon CULHANE - New Zealand - New Zealand Caps 1995-96


Simon Culhane enjoyed one of the most remarkable debuts in the history of
International Rugby when making his bowagainst Japan at the 1995 World Cup. The Fly Half weighed in with a staggering 45 points as New Zealand strolled to a 145-17 victory against Japan. Of his 21 conversion attempts Culhane missed the target on just one occasion. For good measure he also weighed in with a try. Even this was not enough to earn him a place in the All Blacks next fixture - Andrew Mehrtens returning at his expense!
Career Record: P6, W4, L2.  Test Points: 114.

Tries: 1 Penalties: 15 Conversions: 32
