Black Ferns mentor Sir Graham Henry to retire after World Cup decider
Sir Graham Henry will call it quits at Eden Park on Saturday night.
A coach of more than 50 years, the Black Ferns’ World Cup final against England will be the last match of the 76-year-old’s lengthy career.
Henry, who guided the All Blacks to World Cup glory on home soil in 2011, has been working for the Black Ferns in a mentoring role the past six months.

If we can win on Saturday, what a way to call time, at the ground they won the RWC 11 years earlier. I'll be wearing my 2011 jersey for good luck
