All Blacks captain Umaga keeps options open on future

NEW ZEALAND stand-off Nick Evans has suggested strongly that Tana Umaga played his last game in an All Blacks jersey against Scotland on Saturday.

Reports in New Zealand on the day of the game claimed Umaga was poised to bow out as captain following the Bank of Scotland Corporate Autumn Test at Murrayfield.

But after the 29-10 victory over Frank Hadden’s side, Umaga insisted no decision had been taken over his future and that he would ponder his options during an imminent holiday.
