My Take

Israel Dagg's story carries the bittersweet weight that makes sport so human. A New Zealand fullback who wore the famous black jersey for the All Blacks from 2010 to 2017, he had the athleticism and flair to be remembered as one of the greats, only for recurring knee injuries to cut him down too soon. I find these careers strangely unforgettable: brilliance burning brightest just before the lights dim. In a country where rugby is practically a religion, simply earning that shirt is an honour, and Dagg did far more than that. A short peak, but a vivid one I am happy to applaud.
