Frankie C. Cullen

Christian Cullen burst onto the Rugby scene in 1996 where he debuted for the All Blacks against Samoa scoring 3 tries. In the ensuing 7 seasons, Christian Cullen has cemented himself as New Zealands all time leading try scorer, ahead of Jeff Wilson and John Kirwan. Currently (2002), Cullen plays at full back for the Wellington Hurricanes and is involved in a fierce battle for the New Zealand number 15 jersey with Leon Mcdonald from Canterbury. Cullen is part Samoan, and was offered to be an honorary Chief in that country (which he declined). He is also the star of a number of Rebel Sport advertisments. At the age of 26 we hope that Cullen will remain on the rugby scene for a few more years to come, and continue to dazzle us all with his try scoring feats.
