thorne was a rarity among all blacks, especially captains, in that he never made an international appearance at any age-group level. he earned his first all black cap in 1999, playing a single test against the springboks before the 1999 rugby union world cup. taking over as captain from an injured anton oliver, he led the all blacks throughout 2002 and 2003, apart from a brief tour of the uk and france in november 2002 which he missed due to a chronic ankle problem, causing former captain taine randell to be briefly recalled to the skipper's role. although the team's record was excellent under thorne's leadership (playing 22 test matches for 19 wins and 3 losses, and winning the tri nations series both years and the bledisloe cup in 2003), his captaincy ended on a low note as the team was eliminated by the wallabies in the semi-finals of the 2003 rugby union world cup. following the world cup, thorne was replaced as all blacks captain by tana umaga.
