Codie Taylor Set to Join All Blacks Centurions Club Against Argentina

As the All Blacks prepare to face Argentina this weekend, Codie Taylor is set to achieve a significant milestone: his 100th test match. This remarkable achievement will see Taylor join the exclusive club of All Blacks centurions, becoming the 14th player in history to reach this landmark.

In an interview with the Herald in Buenos Aires, Taylor reflected on his journey from Levin to the international rugby stage. “I still can’t even fathom this is my life,” he said. “The young fella from Levin who came home from Aussie to be doing what I’m doing today is pretty cool.” His humble beginnings serve as a reminder of how far he has come in his rugby career.

Honoring Rugby Legends

As Taylor prepares for this milestone match, he is surrounded by the images of past All Blacks centurions in the team’s hotel room. He expressed admiration for those who came before him, stating, “You see those faces and they’re legends. Some of them I’ve played with. It’s a huge honour and something I’ll always be grateful for.”

Following Taylor, fellow teammate Ardie Savea is expected to join the centurion club in the next test against the Springboks at Eden Park. Taylor’s upcoming match against the Pumas not only represents a personal achievement but also underscores the legacy of excellence within the All Blacks.

As the team gears up for what promises to be an exciting encounter, Taylor’s milestone serves as a testament to hard work, dedication, and the spirit of rugby that unites players and fans alike. His journey illustrates the power of perseverance and the importance of humility in the face of success.

With the match scheduled for March 15, 2024, fans and teammates alike are eager to celebrate this significant occasion in Taylor’s career, marking yet another chapter in the storied history of the All Blacks.
