Where did you find the Steve Hanson story TH?
It was the chairman of NZ Rugby, not Steven Hansen.https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/rugby-world-cu...
He has a point. Just not the moral high ground given New Zealand's own record!
More club over country allegations:

Apologies. It was Brent Impey NZR chairman I believe. Let's face it NZ is just a 'soft' SA. Whilst apartheid was never a thing, it is a thing. Unless of course you want the indigenous to play rugby for you! It needs calling out for what it is. Hypocrisy.Where did you find the Steve Hanson story TH?
Cheers. He makes a fair point although I suspect players from Pacific Islands are absolutely free to play wherever they please and make a beeline for say England because it has better training facilities, more clubs and players are better paid.
Hilarious that a Kiwi has the nerve to say that though. I can remember one Martin Johnson was nearly snared by the New Zealand developmental system until he saw sense and chose to play for our mob instead.

For the avoidance of doubt if it wasn't when they started threatening legal action for something that didn't happen it is certainly now !
Yes. If squabbling about a few million pounds which they wouldn’t have got anyway, wasn’t petty enough before 66 people lost their lives, it certainly will bring rugby into disrepute arguing about it now. k up !https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/50066095

I think the Irish man will be in the pub, but the Welshman and the Englishman will still be in Japan.A week later they will all be back in the pub.
The New Zealander and the South African will still be in Japan, but they don't feature in pub jokes anyway!

The Offside Line blog records what Dodson actually said. For the avoidance of doubt: while it is a Scottish Rugby blog, they vehemently hate Dodson for other reasons.

It's just as petty for World Rugby to drag it up again, especially with the tournament ongoing.
