Final destination: Kiwis desperate to extend Foran farewell tour

The New Zealand Kiwis are eager to make Kieran Foran's farewell tour more memorable by adding another match before the veteran halfback retires.

Foran will conclude his career following the Pacific Championships, and this Sunday's match against Tonga could mark the end of his illustrious 16-year journey.

The team is motivated to ensure that this isn't the final chapter for Foran. Achieving a victory or losing by less than 17 points would secure their spot in next week's Cup final against Samoa.

This would grant Foran the opportunity to retire with a trophy, and his teammates are determined to send the 35-year-old off with a victory.

Hooker Phoenix Crossland, who grew up idolizing Foran, is especially eager to absorb as much knowledge as he can from the seasoned player during their time together in camp.
