Christian Cullen

Christian Cullen, born in Paraparaumu in 1976, is a New Zealand rugby great. To anyone who watched 1990s rugby, the Paekakariki Express was electric: a fullback who turned defense into instant attack and was rated among the most dangerous runners the game has produced. What I admire is that nickname, earned not by raw pace alone but by the theater of his running. He has also dabbled in acting, and frankly that tracks; the man always had a flair for the spectacle. Watching him counterattack was as close to art as a contact sport gets.
