Umaga breaks silence but falls short of apology

ALL BLACK captain Tana Umaga finally broke his silence yesterday on the tackle that ended Brian O’Driscoll’s Lions tour - but refused to explain his part in the incident.

Umaga faced the press in Wellington yesterday, expressing bewilderment at how the story had deflected attention from his team’s outstanding victory.

But again he failed to apologise or even explain his version of events.
