Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakaritea a James Collins ki te whai wāhi nui ki te pakanga Euro 2016 o Wales, engari e whakaae ana te kaiwhakahaere Chris Coleman i whiriwhiria e ia te pokapū hokohoko tino nui o Cardiff mo nga korero rangimarie i waenga i te tokorua kia kore ai e kino nga mea. Ka wikitoria a Collins i tana kapa 45 i te whakataetae tohu a Wales ki a Iharaira i te po o te Rahoroi me te kaitiaki o Hull a James Chester i whakarerea e te pokohiwi kua pakaru. Engari ehara i te mea roa kua pahure ake nei i te wa i puta ai te mahi a te kaitautoko o West Ham i muri i te tukinga o te kaitakaro me te kaiwhakahaere i muri i te wehenga o Collins mai i te kapa Wales. I ataata katoa a James Collins i a ia e whakangungu ana me te kapa Wales i Cardiff i te Wenerei i mua i to raatau haerenga ki Iharaira mo te tohu Euro 2016. I whakahē a Collins i te kerēme a Coleman kua paopao ia ki te whai waahi ki te whakauru atu ki te roopu hei karanga mutunga i mua i te whakataetae tohu mo te Ipu o te Ao ki a Serbia i te Mahuru 2013 ana ko te tokorua i whai hononga nui i waenga o Cardiff.

'He tokomaha rawa ngā tāngata i te taha, nō reira i tika ai kia tū rangatira mātou. 'Kua tohe mātau, engari e mohio ana ahau ki a ia mai i a ia e tamariki ana, ā, he pai tonu ki a ia, ā, i a ia e noho ana ki a mātau, kei waenganui tonu ia i ngā mea katoa. He mea tino nui tōna aroaro me tōna tuakiri ki te haere whakamua.' Kua tatari a Collins ki tana wa ki te whakahoki mai i tana waahi ki te ngakau o te tiaki o Wales me Chester kua whakawhanakehia he maarama pai ki te rangatira o Ashley Williams mai i tana timatanga o te ao i te raumati o tera tau. Ko Chris Coleman (matau) kua horoi i te hau ki a Collins i a ia e tohutohu ana i ana kaimahi o muri i te whakangungu. Ko te 31-tau-tau kaore ano kia whakaatuhia i roto i te pakanga e kite ana i a Wales kaore i hinga i muri i nga keemu e wha, i roto i te tohu o nga kaiarahi o te Roopu B a Iharaira. Engari i pātaihia mēnā kua nui ake te uara o Collins ki a Wales i tana wehenga atu ki a ia, ka whakahoki a Coleman: 'Ae, tino. Ki taku whakaaro koinei te take.
