The Guys a fuck wit, however he does generate some pretty healthly debate. The comments after the article make for a good read.

Chris Rattue is becoming NZ's answer to Stephen Jones. His latest should keep the UK rugby chat rooms ticking over for a while.

I think most people in the world including Britain think he's a cock. The funniest part of the whole thing is that every time he says something all the Kiwis get pissy about it. Somehow he knows exactly which buttons to push for the same result everytime.

I think his comments make for good motivation. I do find it funny that he is essentially now is giving praise for our forward pack.

He's a good laugh.
