Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E tūmanakohia ana ka wātea te kaitautoko o Ingarangi a Mike Brown mō te tukinga RBS 6 Nations ki a Scotland i a ia e uru ana ki te wāhanga whakamutunga o tana whakaora mai i te wiri. I ngaro te kaha o Brown me te tiaki wai i te hinganga 19-9 o te Ratapu ki a Ireland i muri i tana whiu i te whiu takirua i te hokinga mai ki nga kawa o te takaro i te mea kua hinga ia ki a Itari. Ko te 29-tau-tau ka whakahaere i te whakangungu whakapiri katoa i te Taite, a, kei te haere ki te hoatu i te rama matomato 24 haora i muri mai ki te aro atu ki nga Scottish kaore i wikitoria i Twickenham i te Maehe 14. Kei te mamae a Mike Brown i te rerenga o te rerenga o Ingarangi ki Ireland i te wiki kua hipa. I hinga a Brown i a ia e whawhai ana ki a Andrea Masi o Itari i Twickenham i te marama kua hipa. 'Kei te tino whakapono mātou ki a Mike. He nui te wā i a ia ināianei, ā, ko ngā tohu katoa mai i te katoa, tae atu ki a Mike anō, kei te hoki ia ki te 100 ōrau,' i kī te kaiako matua a Stuart Lancaster. 'Me tohu e ia te pouaka whakamutunga, ā, ka tino mohio au ka whakangungu ia i te Paraire. Kua kore ona tohu mai i te wiki kua hipa.' I whakakapi a Alex Goode i a Brown i te ahiahi o te moemoea Grand Slam o Ingarangi i ngaro i te Whare Taakaro o Aviva ana i te wa i whakaputahia ai e ia etahi wa pai, i peke atu ia i te wa o Robbie Henshaw i te wa nui o te tukinga. Ka tākaro a Goode mō ngā Saracens ki Wasps i te Rātapu, kātahi ka tohe a Lancaster ka karanga ia ki te tangata e tīmata ana hei whiti i a Scotland ina whai te Whero Whero ki te whakaara anō i ō rātou wawata taitara. 'Ka whakataetae a Mike rāua ko Alex mō te koti 15 i te wiki e whai ake nei,' i kī a Lancaster. He nui te wheako o Mike, ā, he nui tana āwhina ki te kapa, engari he pai te kēmu a Alex ki a Ireland, ā, he pai tana whakahaere i ngā pōro tiketike. 'Ki te kite koe i a Johnny Sexton e whawhai ana ki ētahi atu kapa, ka kitea tonu e ia te tarutaru ki tana patunga ā-roto engari i āhei a Alex ki te hipoki i aua tūponotanga katoa. He nui ngā mahi i tū mai ki a Alex, ā, he pai tana mahi. Ka tūwhera tonu taku whakaaro tae noa ki te wiki e whai ake nei.' Ka hoki a Brown ki te whakangungu i roto i te akiaki e tino hiahiatia ana ki te rangatira o Ingarangi...
Kua rite a Mike Brown ki te hoki ki te whakangungu i te Paraire. I ngaro te kaitautoko i te hinganga o Ingarangi i ngā Iwi e Ono i Īrana i te wiki kua hipa. I raru a Brown i te wikitoria i Itari i te marama o mua. E whakaatu ana a Stuart Lancaster kei te hoki mai tana kaitautoko whetu ki te 100%
