Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te tangata patu kino o Northampton kua rite ki te haere ki te hopu nui ano me te kore whakaaro ki te whakaheke i tana whakamahinga o te kaha ture i muri i te whakahe hou. I tae atu a Courtney Lawes ki Wīwī me ngā Hunga Tapu, i mua i te kapa Champions Cup hauwhā-mutunga ki a Clermont Auvergne kaha, e mau ana i te ingoa kino hei taonga nui. Ko tana tukinga kino ki a France-fly-half Jules Plisson i Twickenham i te marama kua hipa, i te whakamutunga o nga Whenua e Ono, i riri nga manuhiri ki te mea i ngana ratou ki te aukati ia ia. Ahakoa i whakaaro nga kaiwhakahaere o te tukinga me te kaitohutohu e kore e hiahiatia he mahi, kua whakahaweatia te raka o Ingarangi hei kaiwhaiwhai puta noa i te Channel, a he karanga whakahee kei enei waahanga ano hoki. I eke a Courtney Lawes i te whutupaoro o Ingarangi ki te whutupaoro o Wīwī, ki a Jules Plisson. Pāwhiritia ki konei kia pānui i te tuhinga a Jeff mō te tukinga a Lawes. I roto i ēnei whārangi, i whakaaro a Jeff Powell kia tono whakarere a Lawes mō tētahi hara i tautohe ai ia ka whakamutua e ngā mātua te tuku i a rātau tamariki ki te tākaro i tētahi kēmu nanakia, kino hoki. I kitea e nga korero a raatau whaainga engari ko te 26-tau te pakeke he ahua ngawari, kaore hoki i raru i te tupuhi i hangaia e ia. "I mau noa ahau ki te kihi me te whakaaro, "Ka korero nga tangata i nga mea e whakaaro ana ratou i etahi wa, a i etahi wa ka kite nga tangata i nga mea rereke", ka mea a Lawes i a ia e whakarite ana mo tetahi atu huihuinga Anglo-French nui. <unk>He mārama kei a ia te Daily Mail hei tuku i āna whakaaro. I tweet ahau ki a ia. Kāore au i pōhēhē, engari i whakaaro ahau, me tuku atu e au tētahi tweet iti ki a ia, kia whiwhi ai au anō i tētahi mea iti! I tua atu i taua riri whakahē, he nui ngā āwangawanga i pā ki te wā me te ture o tana kāhua whakawātea, engari kāore a Lawes i āwangawanga, ā, i whakapūmau i tana rekoata whakatinanatanga tino ma. "Ki te pono, i te mea he ture, a kaore au i te whakatakoto i taku kapa i roto i tetahi raruraru, i te mea ka whakauruhia ahau, ka tukuna atu ranei, tetahi mea ranei, ka mahi ahau i nga mea katoa ka taea e au ki te awhina i te kapa", ka mea ia. Kāore au i te momo tangata e pōhēhē...
Kua whakahaweatia a Courtney Lawes hei kaiwhaiwhai i te taha o te Channel. I ngana a Parani ki te whakakore i a ia mo tana tukinga kino ki a Jules Plisson. Ka whawhai a Northampton ki a Clermont Auvergne i te Champions Cup.
