Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te mahi e neke te wairua tino ngohengohe ki te pupuhi i roto i te Malcolm Tucker-esque pakaru o te kino kino he tekau ma rua nga wa i te ra. Ki te kore koe e kaha ki te aro atu ki te rerenga tonu o ngā māharahara, kaua rawa koe e neke ki te whakangungu - ka pakaru tō ngakau *a* ka tuku i a koe ki waenganui o te hurihanga. Kia rite ki ngā wheako o Vern Cotter o inanahi. Kua whiriwhiria e ia tana tekau mā rima ki te whawhai ki Ingarangi ki Twickenham, te whakamātautau tino uaua o tēnei pakanga o ngā Whenua e Ono. He wā uaua a Vern Cotter, nā te whara o Alex Dunbar i mua i te kēmu o te Rāhoroi. E ai ki te kaiako a Cotter, ko Dunbar, e 24 ona tau te pakeke, i whai wāhi nui ki te kapa Scotland XV. E mātakitaki ana ia i ngā tama e rere ana i roto i te wā whakangungu whakamutunga i mua i te hopu i te rerenga kai ki Rānana, i te wā ka huri a Alex Dunbar - me te kore tētahi atu kaitākaro i te tawhiti e pā ana ki a ia - i te aronga, ka taka ki te mara. Ka ohorere, ko tētahi o ana tangata matua, he pōro whakangaromanga i roto i te whakaeke, he pea i roto i te parenga, ehara i te mea ko te tukinga Calcutta Cup āpōpō anake, engari ko te toenga o tēnei tau - tae atu ki te Ipu o te Ao. Me neke atu a Stern Vern i te whakahaerenga whakahau ki te whakamarie i tētahi taitama e tū atu ana ki te ono marama ki te whare whakaraerae. Ki te kore ia e whakapono ki te voodoo, hoodoos, juju me nga kino i mua i tana tango i te mahi Scotland.... "He kapa mātou kāore i te māmā i ngā mea", te kī a Cotter, e āhua nei he nui ake i te wiri i te hurihanga o ngā kaupapa. He tauira anō tēnei. Ko te momo mea tērā e taea ana te puta i ngā wā katoa, o te akoranga. Ka hoatu e ahau he tauira ki a koe. Ko te whakaakoranga o te Rāpare i a au e whakahaere ana i Clermont, kua oti i a mātau, kua whakatangihia e au taku pihi. I rere a Wesley Fofana rāua ko Jason White, e kata ana, ka takahia e Wesley a Jason, ka whati i tōna waewae. Ko ēnei noa iho ngā mea e tupu ana, i te mea kino.<unk> Ko te whakapuakitanga a Cotter ka whakatata mai pea te kapa i te ngaronga ohorere o Dunbar - ka nekehia e ana hoa kapa ki te wikitoria i tetahi mo te Gipper, kia rite ki te korero - he maarama. Kaore he painga ki te tangata ki te tiimata ki te haehae i te kakahu me te tangi mo te kore o tetahi kaitakaro, ahakoa...
Kāore a Vern Cotter e hiahia ana ki te mihi ki a ia anō i muri i ngā raruraru whara. E whakaae ana te kaiako o Scotland ka taea e ngā wharanga kino te whakauru ki te kēmu. Engari ko Alex Dunbar he ngaronga nui mō Scotland ki Ingarangi.
