(Reuters) -New Zealand hooker Codie Taylor returned to rugby refreshed after a six-month sabbatical last year and hopes more of his teammates can benefit from time away from the coal-face.

Taylor took time off with the blessing of New Zealand Rugby which lets long-serving All Blacks down tools for a period so long as they return to domestic duty.
