Maori Party's Te Ururoa Flavell says if Andy Haden cannot prove his claim of Crusaders' Polynesian cap his integrity must be questioned
Rugby World Cup ambassador Andy Haden is again being challenged to provide evidence to his claim the Crusaders have a cap on selecting Polynesian players.
Maori Party MP Te Ururoa Flavell has joined the chorus of critics who question whether Mr Haden should keep his job. He says if the former All Black is really concerned about the future of rugby then he should name the writers of the policy, or even show a written copy of it. He says if Mr Haden cannot substantiate his claims then his integrity needs to be questioned.
"By refusing to disclose the identity of the people who Andy says wrote this so-called policy, he has turned a blind eye to what could potentially be institutionalised racism in that franchise.
"If Andy is really concerned about the future of rugby in this country, and it being a safe sport for all peoples to play, then he must name the policy writers or even better, show us the policy on paper.
Mr Flavell says Mr Haden's role as a Rugby World Cup ambassador should also be called into question if he cannot prove his claims.
It actually gets down to Andy Haden's credibility - or the lack of it.
