As the All Blacks prepare to put on their jerseys for the first time this season, a former All Black is reminiscing on one of his most iconic tries. 

Casey Laulala played for a range of Kiwi teams in the 2000’s - including the All Blacks and the Crusaders. 

In fact, he scored the winning try for the Crusaders in 2006’s Super Rugby final, which became known as the ‘Fog Final’ thanks to the thick blanket of fog that coated the pitch. 

He told Piney that thinking back, it was a bonkers situation.
