Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Me aukati a George North i te purei whutupaoro tae noa ki te Ipu o te Ao i te marama o Hepetema i muri i tana whiu tuatoru i roto i nga marama e wha. Koinei te tirohanga o te kaitautoko o mua o Scotland a Rory Lamont, e wehi ana mo te hauora mo te wa roa o te winger o Wales me Northampton i muri i tana whakaatu i tana pakanga ki te pouri i muri i nga whara o te mahunga maha. I mahue a North i te pō o te Paraire i te tukinga o te Aviva Premiership ki a Wasps, ā, ko Lamont, i tukitukia i ngā wā 12 i roto i tana mahi, e whakapono ana kua "whakakahoretia" te kaitākaro 22-tau-tau. E whakaatu ana a Rory Lamont i tana pakanga ki te pouri i muri i tana mamae i te 12 o nga mate pukupuku i te wa o tana mahi whutupaoro. Ko te taumaha o te pānga e hiahiatia ana hei whakaeke i te wiri, ka iti ake te nui o te wā e whara ai te kaitākaro ki te matenga. Heoi anō, kei reira tonu ngā tohu ka taea e Te Tai Tokerau te tākaro ki a Clermont Auvergne i te hauwhā whakamutunga o te Champions Cup hei te Rāhoroi. "He tino whakama te mea kua tae ki tenei taumata", ka mea a Lamont ki a Sportsmail. <unk>Kua takahia a George. Ko te mea ka taea e tētahi kaitākaro te tūhura tonu ki tēnei i te taumata tiketike, he mea poauau. Kua hurihia ia e rātau i te taha o te pae, nā te mea he nui rawa ngā wiri i a ia i roto i te wā poto. Me whai wā ia mō te ono marama, engari ahakoa tērā ka kaha ake te ārai. He papa konganuku kei roto i taku kauae, i te punga me te kōhanga kanohi, engari ko te kino e kore e kitea e manukanuka ana ahau. He wā tonu i te awatea e kore ai ahau e mahara ki te ingoa o taku hoa pai. I pāngia ahau e te pouri, e te riri, e te koretake o te āhua i muri i ēnei patunga. I hinga anō a George North, ā, i akina ia ki waho i muri i tana tukinga ki a Nathan Hughes o Wasps. I tata ahau ki te haere atu i te kēmu i te tau 2008, ā, mēnā i whiwhi au i ngā mōhiohio e rite ana ki te nuinga o te wā i tēnei rā, tērā pea ka taea e au. Mēnā ka ngaro te roro, ka mahue koe ki tētahi ipu kau. Ko North, i whara i a ia e takaro ana ki te All Blacks i te marama o Noema, i kii ia "ko te rugby ehara i te tiddlywinks" i muri i tana whiu e rua ki Ingarangi i te marama kua hipa. "Kei reira tēnei āhuatanga whakapehapeha", i kī a Lamont, 32,
E whakaaro ana a Rory Lamont kia kaua a George North e tākaro whutupaoro tae noa ki te Ipu o te Ao. I hinga te winger i a ia e tākaro ana mō te kapa Northampton. E toru ngā wā i whara ai a North i te tau kua hipa. I mate a Lamont i te pouri i muri i tana whiu i te 12 o nga wa. Pāwhiritia ki konei mō ngā rongo hou katoa o te uniana whutupōro.
