ridiculous that fallon was fired after achieving such a great result.  apparantly he yelled too hard at the kids...
 
 
 
Reminds me. Can anyone remember the National League player (early 80s) who gave up the game COMPLETELY after being away training with the All Whites for a few days?  Something to do with what he termed  "abuse" and others termed shouting....
 
you're not thinking of peter henry or billy harris?  they both walked out on fallon, but didn't give up completely.  i'm less sure of this one, but did kevin hagan do the same?

Give us fifteen years and rugby will be a novelty sport found in only in the South Island and isolated rural pockets.

No sympathy for them at all!!!
 
Ive followed this age group throughout the Feds tournaments and Nike Cup and I can honestly say that what has happened to them at the World cup is disgraceful. This age group  was supposed to be the age group that was to be the best ever that New Zealand has produced but sadly the people in charge have full cocked it up...they shud be made accountable.
 
Shocking stuff.

It's not. I asked him if I could put his name up here but he said' "Nah, leave it. It's too long ago."

  How so?  
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.
