Suzie never poisoned All Blacks

THE meal that poisoned a group of senior All Blacks before the 1995 Rugby World Cup final was eaten at a restaurant outside the team hotel, a hotel executive has claimed.

Tony Rubin, who was on the management of the Crowne Hotel in Sandton where the All Blacks were based said the group had gone to a restaurant outside the hotel and eaten seafood on the Friday before the final.

Becoming sick, the players decided to keep their unauthorised nocturnal prawn feast from coach, Laurie Mains, as they feared his wrath, South African newspapers have reported.
