Jane forgiven for drinking binge as Blacks move on

A STONY-FACED Graham Henry drew a line under reports All Blacks had been drinking in the build-up to yesterday’s World Cup quarter-final, saying he had “dealt with it”.

Following New Zealand’s 33-10 victory over Argentina to set up a semi-final clash with Australia, the coach was asked about a report in The New Zealand Herald which said Cory Jane had been on a “drinking binge” less than 72 hours before the match.

“Oh, I’ve dealt with that and I’ve moved on,” Henry told a press conference, before leaving a silence hanging in the air.
