	New Zealand All Blacks Player Profiles, Match Details and Statistics
		Cullen, as an outstanding instinctive footballer, was never less than competent in the three quarters even if at centre he didn't seem to quite have the distribution skills required.
		Cullen's ability as an astonishingly prolific tryscorer is reflected in the fact that in 58 tests between 1996 and 2002 he scored 46 tries, which became the All Black record.
		Cullen played a big role in Wellington's NPC success in 2000 and was given an emotional and overwhelming farewell when he bowed out of New Zealand rugby to take up a contract with Munster in Ireland at the end of the 2003 season.

	Guardian \| Christian whose religion is rugby
		Christian Cullen's earliest rugby memories are these: 'Eighth grade, Saturday morning, bare feet down at the park.' That was in 1981 and the All Black who moves like mercury on metal was five years old.
		Cullen's first days in the office were on those frosty winter mornings in Paekakariki, when he played as a hooker in his older brother Shane's team.
		While Cullen does not have Lomu's presence or destructive power, his gliding, knife-edge skills could yet prove to be as decisive as his team-mate's were in '95.

		Holmes says Cullen is contracted with Wellington until the end of this season's NPC and he has stated he wishes to play for the Lions in this year's championship.
		Hart was the first to pick Cullen in the All Blacks in 1996 and he is at a loss now to explain why he has slipped so far down the fullback rankings.

	Countee Cullen (1903-1946)
		Cullen's best work was his poetry; he apparently knew this when he compiled his anthology, with the self-explanatory title On These I Stand, shortly before his death.
		Cullen's contemporaries (the best-known ones among the writers) were Gwendolyn Bennett, Langston Hughes, and Claude McKay; contrast the poetic method of social protest by studying poems written by each of these poets.
		Cullen looked beyond his own rich heritage for authorial models and chose John Keats, firmly convinced that "To make a poet fl, and bid him sing" was a "curious thing" that God had done.

	Welsh Rugby Union : Cullen Speaks Out (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Cullen was sensationally dumped from the All Blacks squad by Mitchell and the 27-year-old "Paekakariki Express" has had his revenge by describing Mitchell as "unstrustworthy and a poor manager" and adding, "I didn't trust him from day one."
		Cullen further accused Mitchell of misleading the public by announcing he has been dropped from the 2001 Test squad.
		Cullen remains enormously popular in New Zealand and when he announced earlier this year that he was moving to Irish province Munster, fans crammed aboard a special train trip to Paekakariki to visit sites from his past and view memorabilia such as his old schoolboy trophies.

	About Countee Cullen's Life and Career
		Cullen was also at the center of one of the major social events of the Harlem Renaissance: On 9 April 1928 he married Yolande Du Bois, only child of W E. Du Bois, in one of the most lavish weddings in fl New York history.
		Cullen was by this time generally recognized by critics and the public as the leading literary figure of the Harlem Renaissance.
		Cullen said that he wanted to be known as a poet, not a "Negro poet." This did not affect his popularity, although some Harlem Renaissance writers, including Langston Hughes, interpreted this to mean that he wanted to deny his race, an interpretation endorsed by some later scholars.
