Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kāore a Ben Flower i whakapono e tika ana ki a ia te whakamoemiti e manako ana ki tana hokinga mai i te whakatārewatanga i te pō o te Rāhoroi. I te wā i whiua ai e tana kapa Wigan a Warrington 30-20, ka puta tuatahi te kaiwhawhai o Wales mai i tana whiunga i a Lance Hohaia o St Helens i ngā wā tuatahi o te Whakataunga Nui o te tau kua hipa, ā, i whiua ia ki te ono marama. Ko te 27-tau-tau, i uru mai hei whakakapi i te meneti 23 o te tukinga o te Taite, i korero ki te Daily Star Sunday: 'I miharo ahau ki te marino o taku noho, me nga mea katoa e haere ana i roto i toku mahunga mo te mahi i nga mea tika. Kāore a Ben Flower i te whakapono i tika ki a ia te whakamoemiti i tōna hokinga mai i te whakatārewatanga. Engari kāore au i tūmanako ki te nui o te hamama nui me te whakamoemiti. He mea whakamiharo ki ngā kaiwhaiwhai te piri mai ki ahau. 'He mea pai ki a rātou te mahi i tērā, engari i te mutunga o te rā kāore au i te tika ki tērā nā te mea i takahia e au te karapu.' I mua i te hokinga mai o Flower, i kii te kaiako a Shaun Wane e hiahia ana ia kia hoki mai ia hei kaitakaro kaha ake, engari i kii a Flower me ako ia ki te whakahaere i ona kare a roto. 'Ka hoki mai ahau ki te noho hei kaitakaro kaha ake i te wa e pai ana ahau, engari ko te riri kaore e kii ko au hei kaitakaro paru,' i kii ia. 'Ko te mea i tupu i te Whakataunga Nui he hapa nui.' Ko te kaiwhawhai o Wales i te wā o te wikitōria 30-20 a Wigan Warriors ki a Warrington i te Rāhoroi kua hipa. Ka uaua a Flower ki te whakahaere i te pōro i te wā e whakatakoto ana a Ben Currie i a ia ki te whutupaoro.
I hoki mai a Ben Flower i tana whiu e ono marama i te po o te Rāpare. I puta tuatahi mai te kaitākaro whutupaoro o Wales mai i tana whiu i a Lance Hohaia o St Helens i te tīmatanga o te Whakataunga Nui o te tau kua hipa. I riro i te 27-tau-tau te whiwhinga pai i te wikitoria 30-20 a Wigan ki a Warrington.
