All Blacks and Blues wing Caleb Clarke has apologised after pleading guilty to charges of dangerous driving and failing to stop for police

Clarke's case was heard in court today - although he didn't appear in person.

He is seeking a discharge without conviction ahead of sentencing in June.

In a statement released to NZME and then bizarrely retracted by the Blues, Clarke says he made an error of judgment while riding his motorbike.

He says he is extremely apologetic and embarrassed, adding while the court and employment processes are ongoing he will focus fully on his rugby.

The Blues will consider the matter internally after the conclusion of the court process.
