do you really think that graham henry would risk his neck and put a weak side out against the lions.
its been said time and again that the people of NZ's pride rests on the all blacks
my mate says we dont have the same thing here,
some people support football, some rugby, but it seems they have utter devotion to the oval ball over there
it was said in the last couple of days richie mccaw (flanker) was constantly in the papers as he might not play due to an injury, on par with the beckhams in the media in the uk.
unlike european countries, if you want to play for NZ you have to play IN NZ. this used to be the same for South Africa till Percy montgomery got picked whilst playing for newport.
gary teichmann who used to captain the springboks had retired from internaitonal rugby and came to wales to play, but i dont think he played for SA and for newport.
