Kurt HammerFormer Otago halfback Kurt Hammer has scaled back his rugby ambitions to just chipping in and upgrading the pocket on his Taieri blazer. The 28-year-old more or less retired from rugby in 2019 when he badly injured his shoulder during a pre-season game for Otago. I suppose it is a comeback but only to help out Taieri and help out my team." Hammer played the last of his 13 games for Otago in the Ranfurly Shield defence against Thames Valley in 2019. I’m probably not capable of playing rugby the way I used to because I can’t actually train as I would want to.
