Watch: Brodie Retallick ready to return to rugby after personal tragedy

January 30, 2018

The All Blacks and Chiefs lock missed the end of 2017 after his wife Niki suffered a miscarriage.

All Blacks and Chiefs lock Brodie Retallick says he's happy to return to rugby, having missed last year's end-of-year tour after he and wife Niki suffered a miscarriage.

Speaking to media at the Chiefs' pre-season training today, the 68-Test lock spoke about returning to the field for the first time since his tragedy.

"We're going good," Retallick said.

"It's been a nice break, given the circumstances, but it was good to rest the body."

"We're looking forward to another good Super (Rugby) season here with the Chiefs."
