Wales’ Gough labels All Blacks ‘honest cheaters’

WALES lock Ian Gough has dubbed New Zealand “honest cheaters” just four days before the two countries clash at the Millennium Stadium.

The All Blacks have been accused of exploiting grey areas in the rules with France assistant coach Jacques Brunel – whose side were beaten in back-to-back Tests against New Zealand – claiming they “benefit from a lot of indulgence” by referees at line-outs and scrums.

Former Wales international Ieuan Evans described the tourists as “the best cheaters in the world” and Gough shares his compatriot’s admiration.
