New Zealand fullback whose extraordinary pace, brilliant footwork and prolific try-scoring during the late 1990s produced a record-breaking hat-trick of Tri-Nations tournaments and iconic attacking performances.
Christian Cullen was New Zealand's electric fullback of the late 1990s, considered one of the most devastating finishers in the history of the game. His extraordinary pace and natural instinct for the try line produced 46 tries in 58 Tests — a scoring rate that has rarely been matched. His ability to finish from any position on the field with his exceptional footwork made him virtually unstoppable in open play.
