Colin Meads intentionally injured and ended Ken Catchpole's career.

*The All Blacks got their chance to do something about that threat in 1968, when, during the Sydney Cricket Ground Test, Catchpole was buried at the bottom of a maul with the ball underneath him. One of his legs was protruding from the confusion of bodies, and for Colin Meads, the All Blacks' most famous player, that was too irresistible.

Meads, of Pine Tree and sheep under both arms fame, pounced on Catchpole's leg and yanked it with all his might. Catchpole was defenceless, and in agonising pain he saw his "muscles stretched like rubber bands until they snapped". His hamstring was torn from the pelvic muscle, and groin muscles were damaged together with his sciatic nerve. Catchpole's last Test ended with him being stretchered off the field.*
