“I’d rather be training,”
The Lions took a much needed break in Queenstown following their win over the All Blacks in the 2nd Test at Westpac Stadium on Saturday night. The players enjoyed a bit of jet boating among other things, but one All Blacks star doesn’t sound too impressed.
Jerome Kaino was forced off early in the 2nd Test, as the All Blacks look to sort out their backline on Saturday following a red card to Sonny Bill Williams. And ahead of the third Test, he says he’d rather be training than relaxing as the Lions did,
“I’d rather be training, to be honest,” Kaino said.
“Yeah, although jet boating in Queenstown does sound pretty good. I’m sure they’ve thrown some training in there somewhere, but hey, if that’s what they think will get the best out of their players, then good on them
“But for us, we’ve got a lot of improvements to make in how we want to play in wide areas, so we’re just worried about we’re going to do.”
A bit of a pop at the Lions depending on what way you want to look at it. All we know for sure is Saturday’s game in Auckland will be a cracker.
