    Osborne does have a sense of humour.

    The role has also brought some fond memories flooding back for Brown, who revealed that he was cheekily given the nickname Inanga ‘’Whitebait’ by Glen Osborne when he first represented NZ Māori in the 1996.

      @Bovidae That’s pretty, also quite funny coming from Osborne too as he’s pretty fair himself.

              Well considering they'd have African-born players play for Scotland since the 1880s (James George Robertson) I'm not that surprised!

                Note I said Scottish players, not Scotland internationals. Like James Lowe is an Irish International but he's not an Irish player 😉

                  ooh, subtle. Given that "Scottish' lot have Siberian blood (which explains their liking for husky types) I'm no so sure what "Scottish" means any more.

                          Fuck I'm quite late on this, but I didn't know Tony Brown was Māori and played for the Māori All Blacks a few years back. Got me by surprise.

                                    @Bovidae I expected that! Here's hoping that all the (Pasifika and Maori) players get rid of that silly blond and pink dyed hair, too!

                                      @Bovidae about time. I kept expecting the bloody thing to fall off the way it seemed to bobble around.

                                        @Bovidae I think he just tied it back. On the news, it was still there.

                                          As a spectator it really emphasised how busy and effective he was. Could be a good tactic to get selectors eyes.
