Thirty-two year-old flanker is set to extend his stay at Japanese club Suntory Sungoliath after signing a three-year contract

captain Sam Cane announced on Monday that he would be returning to Japanese club rugby at the end of the season and retiring from the international game.

“A good opportunity came my way with Suntory Sungoliath willing to offer me a three-year contract,” Cane said in a New Zealand Rugby press release. "After discussing this at length with Sam, I fully understand the reasons behind his decision and support him," Robertson said."The position he plays asks a lot of you mentally and physically – both of those things ramp up when you are captain. So to do what he's done over such a long period is an incredible feat. I fully respect him taking this opportunity."
