Responsible for the All Blacks' mullet movement last year, Chiefs lock Brodie Retallick admitted today in a media session that he regrets cutting his locks after suffering from sunburn.

Retallick, 27, told reporters today that he might be bringing back the mullet look.

"I am missing the mullet a little bit. I got the mullet cut off and my neck got severely burnt," said Retallick.

"Aidan Ross has still got it going, he's holding strong. I might have to start again."

Chiefs fans will be hoping Retallick leads better than he cooks, judging by these cheeky comments from his fellow forward. (Source: Other)

The Chiefs announced today that Retallick will co-captain the side along with teammate Same Cane for the 2019 Super Rugby season.
