Thanks to the person who forwarded this link, from the New Zealand Herald website, an intriguing story:
A new book has revealed the All Blacks were threatened by the IRA during a tour to Ireland in 1973.
The book claims a letter of “advice” was supposedly sent by Sinn Fein to one of the All Blacks players Bob Burgess during the tour of Great Britain and France.
Read on for a most curious tale.
Any thoughts? Mischief making by someone else, a cack-handed effort or?
