Otago and Crusaders prop George Bower stay happy to the point bursting following his call-up for the All Blacks Tri-Nations crew, however behind the grin lies the troublesome choice he needed to make to arrive.
Addressing stuff.co.NZ, Bower says he had an occasion to play for Fiji in a year ago’s Rugby World Cup yet he disclosed to John McKee who was the Flying Fijians mentor then that it would be best for him to remain with New Zealand and play somewhat more Super Rugby.
He says it was a hard choice for him at that point.
He adds that he couldn’t want anything more than to play for his nation of origin yet playing for the All Blacks has been a fantasy of his.
Grove is a double cross Super Rugby champion and was destined to Fijian guardians in the city of Lower Hutt in New Zealand.
He likewise addressed Radio NZ about his excursion.
Grove is one of the four All Blacks players with Fijian connections that have been named to highlight for New Zealand in the last two Bledisloe Cup Tests and the Tri-Nations rivalry.
The All Blacks will meet the Wallabies at 8.45pm next Saturday in the third Bledisloe Cup Test.
