Augustine Pulu Smashes Tom Coolican

Your international debut is a seminal moment in any player’s career and, on Saturday, Augustine Pulu made his All Blacks bow in their clash with the USA in Chicago’s Soldier Field.


Even though the game was well over as a contest when Pulu, The Chiefs scrum half, was introduced, but, in typical Kiwi fashion, the tempo and physical intensity of New Zealand’s remained high until the very end, something which Tom Coolican can attest to.

Like the proverbial torpedo, Pulu fired himself at Coolican, knocking the back row into touch with aplomb. Latterly, due to the impact of the hit, Coolican had to receive medial attention.
