Although this is in fact apocryphal, since there is little in the way of evidence to substantiate this view, it is however the popular view. So much so in fact that the international committee named the Rugby world cup the "William Webb Ellis Trophy".
"The New Zealand High Commission is very sorry to learn about the inconvenience suffered by rugby journalist Mr Vata Ngobeni in Taupo," it said in a short statement.
Ngobeni could lodge formal complaint with New Zealand's Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) at www.ipca.govt.nz."We have referred the matter to the New Zealand authorities for further investigation and/or comment," the commission said.
The southern Africans went down 81-7 in their final game against Wales on Monday, having previously lost to Fiji (49-25), Samoa (49-12) and South Africa (87-0), the latter on Thursday.
New Plymouth - Namibia exited the Rugby World Cup on Monday after losing all four of their Pool D matches, albeit within a punishing schedule of 16 days, something coach Johan Diergaardt branded as "unsuitable".
"It just showed what they are up to and what the players can do. Unfortunately you can't just do it for 20 minutes in a game, you have to do it for the full 80," he rued.
Napier - Japan's hopes of breaking their 20-year Rugby World Cup winless streak were ruined as a last-minute penalty by Canada's flyhalf Ander Monro left the two sides drawn at 23-23.It was the second successive World Cup that the two teams have registered a draw, Japan needing a last-gasp conversion to tie the scores at 12 points apiece at the 2007 tournament.
Japan then took command of the match, seeking to run everything and when Canada attacked to employ a ferocious offensive defence.A flustered, leaden-footed Canada were particularly lax at the breakdown and suffered a number of turnovers because of the hard-hitting tackles, Nicholas and lock Luke Thompson to the fore for Japan.
Georgia have made three changes to the team which went down 41-10 to England with David Zirakashvili, Giorgi Chkhaidze and Lasha Khmaladze promoted to the starting line-up.
