Sir Buck Shelford: "It's not the place for it" - On TJ Perenara blindsiding the All Blacks

  • Summary

  • The hoo-ha over TJ Perenara's message before leading the All Blacks final haka last year has erupted again.

    His speech in te reo before the test against Italy in Turin came after the march to parliament to protest the Treaty Principles bill.

    The Herald reports many within the All Blacks felt blindsided regarding the politicisation of the issue, with a limited number made aware of the halfback's intentions hours before kick-off.

    The coaches decided against switching the haka leader, and didn't want to remove Perenara from his 89th and final test.

    Perenara and the governing body declined to comment.
