Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakatupatohia a George North ka taea e ia te whakawehi i tana mahi ki te purei ano ia i tenei wa i muri i tana whiu i te tuatoru o nga whiu i whakapumautia i roto i nga marama e wha. Ko te winger o Northampton me Wales, e rua nga whara o te mahunga ki Ingarangi i te Hui-tanguru, engari i whakaaetia kia purei i muri i te ngaro o nga mahi hauora, i hinga ano i te po o te Paraire i te wikitoria o te Saints Aviva Premiership i runga i te Wasps. I tohu te kaiwhakahaere o te whutupaoro o Northampton a Jim Mallinder i muri i te kēmu ka taea tonu te whakaaro mo te 22 tau te pakeke mo te tukinga o te Ipu o te Ipu o Europi me Clermont i te Rahoroi e whai ake nei, engari ko nga tohunga whara roro e kii ana kaua ia e purei ano i tenei waa.

'Ko te hunga e whai whakaaro ana ki a ia, e whai whakaaro ana ki tana mahi, me kii atu ki a ia, i te tau o te Ipu o te Ao, ahakoa he pai ake te ahua o te 100 ōrau i roto i nga wiki e ono, kaore e tika ana kia whakawehi i tana tupono ki te atamira teitei.'
