    All Blacks and Chiefs flanker Sam Cane has paid tribute to the leadership of Japan captain Michael Leitch at the rugby World Cup


    Leitch played three seasons at the Chiefs before returning to lead the Brave Blossoms campaign.

    The 31-year-old's approach has been lauded... and rewarded... with Japan making a maiden quarter-final.

    Cane says Leitch's commitment is undisputed.
