New Zealand rugby captain issues grovelling apology after kicking young pitch invader

New Zealand rugby captain Sam Cane has apologised and vowed to “make things right” after kicking a young pitch invader.

The All Blacks skipper was involved in the shocking incident on Saturday following the 41-12 victory over Argentina in the Rugby Championship. Following the end, one young fan invaded the pitch.

However, they were soon stopped as Cane kicked the young pitch invader over as he was being chased by stewards at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas. He then got up and continued to run away. Cane, an 86-cap loose forward, has since apologised for the incident in a statement posted on social media.
