The guy could go down as one of the great All Blacks IF he stuck around for the next 5+ years. The way he's going he will be remembered as a big talent but that's it. He obviously doesn't care but I just wish someone would get in his ear and encourage him to stick with one game. I think it's a shame that he is ruining his chance to be a great!

I agree with Babo's, rugby is greater than SBW, but I also feel that he will be a huge loss for world rugby. Being a coach at high school level myself, I always use him as an example to youngsters, because he is the ideal package when it comes to skill, power and vision, always looking for a team mate in a better position to pass to.

I wish him all the best in whatever career he chooses, he will defenitely leave an open spot in the no. 12 jersey!!!

Yip. Good for him. he's a great player, but there are many other great players in rugby union. He will get bored again after moving, and will eventually return to union. And then he will get bored again and move on. From a marketing perspective, the uncertainty boosts his hype. As for boxing, he really is an average boxer but luckily for him he is super fit. But with all his strength, he couldn't put away some has-been sitting ducks. I'll still watch his fights though.

If he wants to leave let him, rugby is bigger than him and there are so many up comming players playing for the same spot. It is about the love for the game that makes it great
