[QUOTE="Peat, post: 839057, member: 42330"] Roughly the size of it. He's as much a Kiwi as my left testicle with a silver fern drawn on it. Things could have been very different though. He was picked with the understanding that he was putting down roots in NZ and would stick around, which I'm fairly sure was a sincere belief at the time. Then he picks up shoulder trouble and goes home for a bit, fully intending to go back, except he plays a bit for Tigers when in England and all of a sudden everything goes very fast for him here. Been a while since I've read his autobiography but pretty sure that's how its described there. If his shoulder hadn't kept sub-luxing, he'd have probably been an All Black. [/QUOTE]
