f**k yeah Adam Blair. If you are too chicken shit to tell Kidwell in person and in a reasonable time frame you don't have the mana to wear the kiwis jersey now or in the future....

New Zealand captain Adam Blair hasn't held back when asked for his thoughts on Jason Taumalolo turning his back on the Kiwi team to play for his native Tonga at the World Cup later this year.
Taumalolo's decision to make the switch took many people by surprise with Blair particularly unhappy with the Cowboys forward's lack of transparency.
Just before the New Zealand side was to be announced, Taumalolo dropped his bombshell without giving Kiwi players or coaches a heads up and it's safe to say Blair isn't too happy with how it went down.
"You've got to be a man and own up to what you want to do," he told
NewstalkZB .
"If you were man enough, you'd make the phone call and tell them.
"He could have told them a couple of weeks ago because I don't think it was a last-minute decision.
"Obviously this was something he was thinking about doing."
Blair's scathing assessment didn't stop there with the captain clearly not keen to see Taumalolo or David Fusitu'a, who made a similar defection, play for New Zealand in the future.
"At this stage, it feels like we've been let down a lot," he said.
"So do we let them back in the team?
"You're going to have to find some way to be able to trust them again but that does cause issues and problems that we don't need."
