<p>He's younger than Mealamu. Who has two world cup medals. And was certainly not first choice by 2015.</p> -

<p>Peak Franks would have had to have dislodged an incumbent, which is no easy feat, even with the fluffing RB would have given him.</p> -

<p>The real joke is that he missed out on winning not one but two world cups.</p>

<p>As Carl had some very serious family issues he felt he needed to pay for him leaving and staying overseas for the money was the right choice. I am sure he would of loved to win a RWC but there are more important things in life.</p> -

<p>Interesting. Must have been some incredibly bad problems if an actual farm (which is what the NZRU were offering) couldn't dig you out of them.</p> -
<p>except they weren't offering him a farm, it was the Taranaki Union helping facilitate him getting a diary farm. Nobody was offering to pay his contract and give him a farm also</p>

<p>I never heard that before - certainly puts a different slant on things.</p> -

<p>Wasn't / isn't his daughter really ill?<br><br>
Not sure Franks would have overtaken him.<br><br>
Pretty obvious April troll really (the original story).</p>
