if european rugby is so poor what does that make him as­ he was dire to watch last season! calling himself top­ class is an insult to the game and the team he played­ in

If it was so easy how come he stayed the second year? ­ Contract or no contract he could have gone back. I can­ think of a few hundred thousand reasons why he stayed! ­ No class to take the money then slag off the rugby! He­ hardly shone over here either.

Jack what are you doing??

Im a Kiwi in London, and no­ matter what your opinion is, you keep it to yourself as­ a professional should.

Disappointed.

To his defence,­ maybe it was a more of a parting remark to the­ Scaracens outfit that will only employe Sth Africans

@#$%

What a @#$%!!! Didnt say anything when he was picking­ up his wages, mercenary sod. @#$% player anyway.

Yahoo send him these comments and tell him how much of­ a mercenary he is. Bets are off re his selection for­ New Zealand, he has got no chance. His comments about­ easy rugby are rubbish, surely the NZ teams know the­ opponants so much better because there are so few teams­ that to some degree it could be said it is easier in­ NZ.

Don't know much about this guy. Does he really look­ like his photo, or have the research guys looked for a­ picture that makes him look as dumb as his comments? If­ that's so - great match-up!
Seriously, I think his­ comments doesn't really say a lot about Northern­ Hemisphere rugby but does speak volumes for his lack of­ scruples and integrity. Let's hope he is never­ invited back to play here as a Barbarian - seems­ unlikely that he'll make the All Blacks team so­ therefore we can say goodbye and good riddance.

What we've got to remember is that the southern­ hemisphere teams play in a regional league, whereas the­ GPrem is a club league. In the whole of NZ they only­ have 5 teams, so the standard will almost certainly be­ better. Imagine if Wasp, Exiles, Sarries, and Quins all­ joined together to make a South East team - would be an­ awesome team. That's the kind of level that the­ Super 14 is. It also means that each team has a much­ larger fan base, money pot, investors etc. No wonder­ that Super 14 is better standard.

Still, if Jack was­ findign it so easy how come his team finished 9th out­ of 12. I reckon this is just backlash for being dropped­ by his new coaches.

Why dont the top 3 in the premiership challenge the top­ 3 in Super 14? Settle the Hemisphere score... Have­ the Settle the Score on Neutral ground.. Lets Say the­ United States... In TEXAS... we are desperate for some­ Great RUGBY!!

Cheers!

Jack wasn't good enough to make the starting XV of­ the team who lost again France and its "easy­ rugby"....

...and wouldn't have been called­ in a Northern Hemisphere "team of the season­ " if such a thing did exist.

Have a nice trip­ home, and don't let the door slap your @#$% on the­ way out

Perhaps he's still bitter about being knocked out­ of 2 world cups by a poor european team (as he says) -­ France.

NZ are always the best team in the world when­ it does not matter, when it does they bottle it and are­ a joke worldwide because of it.

Whats is the 7th and­ 8th place world cup play off called - The Bledisloe­ cup...ha ha

Surely 3 things need mentioning here.

1. Is he really­ going home to play better rugby or is more to do with­ the take over of Saracens and sour grapes.

2. If rugby­ here is so easy then why did he win NOTHING as either­ part of a team or as an indivdual

3. It would be­ interesting to see his opta stats Vs the top European­ Locks...

Actually Munster nearly and probably should have beaten­ the all blacks so how can anyone say club rugby is not­ as good as the southern hemisphere when one of the­ northern teams are capable of beating the national­ team!!!

If he didnt go home shouting his mouth off no one would­ know he was back, over rated in his own mind this one.­ Glad hes gone. Would say see you next time you`re in an­ All Black shirt but no chance off that you old has­ been.

2 OLD 2 HAIRY 2 FULL OF HIMSELF

Yeah, the hairy loudmouth was happy enough to take the­ Saracens pay check though, which is more than double­ what he would receive in NZ ...... Not the best player­ from those shores to have played here was he ? The sad­ ungrateful prat wont be missed .

If it was that easy how come he never won the­ premiership? NZ can't win the World Cup...How­ hilarious that the forward passers par excellence were­ undone by a French forward pass! Laugh? I nearly­ forgot to laugh at the Haka....

when is the last time the all blacks won the world cup?

when is the last time the all blacks won the world cup?

I suppose he has to say something to attract attention­ to the fact he's going back to NZ. At the end of­ the day the best time has to win it's not­ subjective.
