WATCH: Dane Coles to switch to number eight this weekend
By RugbyPass
An All Black getting a run on a muddy council ground is a rare sight these days, but Dane Coles will return to the colours of his home club on Saturday afternoon.
The 49-test hooker will be packing down at number eight for Wellington club Poneke FC, where he made a name for himself in the latter half of the last decade.
It will be his first time in the historic red and black jersey of Poneke for quite a few seasons. His recent injury layoff means he hasn't seen much action at all in 2017, and Coles will use this much-needed game time to warm up for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup test on August 19th against the Wallabies in Sydney.
