'NZ is a country built on immigration, in the past we've had more players born in the UK, Ireland and Aussie than born in the pacific islands, but nobody claims we recruited them. It's just bollocks.'
Yep racist bollocks ...

@consumeranonymous dude that guy wearing the silly little helmet is probably the best rugby player to have ever lived and definately the best forward/flanker ever.

It is the same guy, Michael Jones, a true legend of rugby. He is widely considered in NZ to be one of our greatest ever players. The headgear worn in rugby can't really be described as a helmet though, it has to be made of soft materials. It was only really used to protect players ears in the scrum, although these days some players use them to stop getting cuts (and therefore having to go off if they're bleeding). It offers no protection for serious head injuries, concussion etc.

actually now that I look at it, it might be someone else...

I was wondering how the one guy at 3:14 was able to last in professional rugby for 11 years (it says '87-'98.) But then the next scene is the same guy wearing that silly little helmet harharhar.

which translates into
'Tis death! 'tis death! (or: I may die) 'Tis life! 'tis life! (or: I may live)
'Tis death! 'tis death! 'Tis life! 'tis life!
This the hairy man that stands here...
...who brought the sun and caused it to shine
A step upward, another step upward!
A step upward, another... the Sun shines!
