All Blacks coach Steve Hansen blasts Wallabies for stealing Kiwi talent

I thought the Franks brothers were born in Oz?

Pretty sure Owen wasn't but I'm quite sure Ben was.

That's correct and the easy way to remember is that he was born in.........(drum roll)..............Frankstown

Besides. How many islanders have been pinched by the all blacks over the years?

IIRC their 2007 RWC squad featured 12 players born in the PI. But the Kiwi's seem to think that's a different matter. Who really cares what Hanson think anyway. For better or worse that's how things are in the professional game.
Just get over it Steve.

No, the way they see it is that because they moved to NZ form their home island at a young age for schooling they are offically Kiwis for the sake of AB selection.

Then will go on to convert that to "look how many New Zealanders we have sent back home to play for their own country"

I bet nthe Netball officials were pretyy happy with one Irene Van Dyke they had dominating for a few years, now where was she from?

what a tosser. We have stolen just as many Efrikorns.

Vickerman, Clyde, Pocock, Gregan, Judas to name but a few.

I understand Steve Devine was an Aussie All Black............

[jono]

Notice how he isn't saying the same thing about dopey bob?

He only gives a shit when the person in question is capable of making a difference

Well actually he was on the bench, and supposed to be supporting his team mates, not tweeting his fingers off when we about to score a try. Sure half time or during a break in play, but during possibly the closest attempted try scoring play of the night, you have to be kidding right. He's a self obesessed, egotisicical, vainglorious, self centred imp.

That's about sums him up..."took the words right outa my mouth...."

How is it our fault that Australia is a cracking place to live?

Saw the Samoan PM on TV, visiting St Edmonds College in Qld. Thanking them for helping with the tsunami relief effort. Said that there had been many Samoans representing NZ in the past. Now he will be happy to send some more Samoan students to help the Wallabies counter act this.

Looks like he loves to stir the pot too
