'Beaver' myths dispelled:
* Lomu did not come from Tonga - he was born in Pukekohe, NZ;
* Lomu was raised in and resided in Mangere - not Otara;
Anyway, I'm siding with Razor on this issue.
Go to comments3 high profile critics and you stand by your man? Come on, DM is uh, just ok. Not half bad at times but never more than threatens to be uncontrollable. As context if you want to talk bias, even I, Manie L's biggest fan, would agree he is not the complete package yet either, nor is Marcus S on the strength of a couple good matches. Look to Thomas R and the Argentinian flyhalf for the year's standouts. Handre P (not my pick for SA) also acquitted himself. Am I wrong?
