Mr Larsen

Gavin Larsen should have been a primary school teacher. In his latest column he dishes out a report card on the New Zealand team, and ends up giving little "stars" to virtually everyone (except Scott Styris). I think Larsen might be on to something. I am going to suggest that John Bracewell takes a leaf out of his book and tells Craig McMillan to write out "I will not play ugly leg-side swipes" 100 times on the blackboard. Meanwhile, I am going to start campaigning for the introduction of an additional interval, "little playtime", midway through the afternoon session.
