Huw Richards, first player to be sent off in the Rugby World Cup. Wayne Shelford escaped a similar sanction. No New Zealand player has ever been sent off at the World Cup.

Karma would not smile kindly on referee Kerry Fitzgerald for that decision
Indeed. Kerry also officiated at the 1991 World Cup just weeks before his untimely passing.
Alan rolland is as big a cunt as you’d ever wish never to meet. A petty little weasel with little about him and an oversized appetite for the spotlight. A total homer of a ref to boot. He’s not dissimilar to Sebastian coe in many ways.

Wales v Western Samoa in the 1991 World Cup.
Can’t seem to find full match but highlights below,
France v New Zealand, 2007 World Cup quarter final on Eir now.
I watched that in the James Joyce pub in Paris the night before Dylan Thomas won the arc, it was a tremendous sporting weekend. The Gallic flair is something when the French turn it on
It’s sad the James Joyce is closed now.
Your heart really went out to the New Zealand fans back then. Lot of them were just flying in on packages for the semi final and final.
And Harry Findlay. It finished him.
03 final on now.
Wilkinson could have been the greatest of all time.
Watching it now. Extraordinary that it went to extra time. England were vastly superior

Wilko had lovely hands
Is the future head of Australia cheering on a different country?
That was some English pack tbf. Maybe not the best 11-15.
