King Carlos is coming back for the Blues
By Online Editors
Is this the spark the Blues need to return them to former glory?
Former All Black and Auckland star Carlos Spencer has been confirmed as the team's wildcard player in February's Brisbane Global Tens, at the ripe old age of 42.
Spencer, who last played competitive rugby six years ago, was at the heart of the Blues' 2003 championship win - the last time they held the Super Rugby trophy aloft. He also earned 35 caps for the All Blacks.
He moved to England after leaving NZ in 2005, playing for Northampton Saints and Gloucester. After he hung up his boots he was involved in the coaching setup at the Lions Super Rugby side.
Spencer is most remembered for his mercurial style, particularly this outrageous try against the Crusaders in 2004:

He doesn't want to turn rugby union into rugby league. What he would like is to avoid having a rugby match take 106 minutes to complete like last year's World Cup final did.
Go to commentsBro you the ONLY dude comparing BOKS and ALL BLACKS to decide WHO YOU THINK IS BETTER.
WHAT DID THE ALL BLACKS WIN? ACTUALLY? HOW do you compare Eben with Scott Barrett?????He is NOWHERE NEAR that level & never will be. Not even mentioning Vaa'i.
The All Blacks won NOTHING significant. Their Biggest achievement in the last 14 months was beating Ireland in a QF & losing in the Final against the BOKS.
In 3 years they've lost 6 TIMES to this Bok team?
