Probably brought back memories of his mom, hitting him with her handbag.

If I'm Chris Masoe, I kill myself right now and avoid any further humiliation.

I could have used one of those back in my schoolboy rugby games. Kiwi players were always scary - even at schoolboy level. Even the pakeha ones.

Yes there are - the name refers to their uniforms, and while there are a high proportion of Maori players, as well as some other Pacific Islanders, there are plenty of New Zealanders of European extraction as well.

It brought back memories of his unhappy love affair with Ruth Buzzi.

I was just kidding... one of those things that don't translate well to Americans.

Fair enough - but I've heard the question seriously asked at times - normally by people who haven't seen what they wear when playing which makes it kind of obvious where the name came from.

I didn't know that John Kerry played rugby.

"Rugby players are among the toughest in sport, regularly ignoring the pain of dislocations, head cuts and other aches and sprains but being hit with a handbag was too much for a tired and emotional Masoe."
The most valuable player on my rugby team was this veterinarian. And not because of his prowess on the pitch. Rather, it was his ability to stitch us up (without anesthesia)and set broken noses during matches so we could go back out to play.

Basically All Blacks is just the nickname for the New Zealand senior national rugby team. And yep, there have been plenty of European players in the AB.
We do have All Whites as well - it is the NZ national soccer team.

as well as a broken cell phone that was inside it. It is reported that the shot put ball that was in the purse, however, is fine.
