One of Shane Christie's teammates is relieved his good mate has called time on his rugby career
16 May 2018
Christie, who played for the Highlanders and Tasman, was sidelined in 2016 with concussion issues and hasn't played since.
He will now assume an assistant coaching role with the Mako in the Mitre 10 Cup.
Highlanders and Tasman lock Alex Ainley has played with Christie for a number of years and says he saw the decision coming.
He says he knows what Christie's been through and doesn't want to see anyone got through that, so he's pleased with his decision.
The Highlanders face the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday night.
