Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kia wareware ki te rā o te Groundhog. Mo te rangatira o Scotland, a Greig Laidlaw, e mamae ana, kua timata te ahua ki te Tau o te Groundhog. Kua kitea he tauira mōhiotia i roto i ana kōrero i muri i ngā hinganga e whā o tana kapa i roto i tēnei pakanga o Ngā Whenua e Ono i tēnei wā. Kua kōrero ia mō ngā mea pai hei tango mai i ia ngaronga i a ia e ngana ana ki te whakapau kaha ki te whakatakoto i ngā kanohi tino maia ki runga i ngā take. I a ia e noho ana i te BT Murrayfield i te Turei i muri i te whakangungu kaha me ona hoa mahi o te ao, kaore tana kopare i te peke i te wa e haere ana ia i roto i te tikanga tawhito. Ko Greig Laidlaw i te mahi i te whakataetae whutupaoro o nga Whenua e Ono i waenga i France me Scotland i Stade de France. Engari i muri i te ataata whakahihiri i kitea he wehi hou e horomia ana ia e hanga ana i te tukinga whakamutunga o nga Whenua e Ono ki a Ireland i te Rahoroi he nui ake te awangawanga. Ko te haurua o te whutupaoro me nga kapu 38 ki tona ingoa kaore e hiahia ki te hono atu ki a Chris Paterson me Ross Ford i roto i nga pukapuka rekoata hei rangatira i arahi i a Scotland ki te rihi rakau o nga Whenua e Ono. E rua nga wa i mahia e Paterson, i te tau 2004 me te 2007, me te Ford e pa ana ki te ahua rite i te tau 2012. Mai i te wā i riro ai ngā Whenua e Rima ki te Ono, e 10 ngā wā i noho ai a Itari ki te pito o te puranga, ā, kotahi te wā i noho whakamutunga ai a Wales me Wīwī. Kāore anō a Ingarangi me Irīria kia mau ki te kauwhata rākau. Ko Laidlaw, nāna i tākaro i te tū ki te taha, kaua i te taha o te taha i whākina i raro i a Ford, kāore ia e hiahia ana ki te wheako anō i taua āhuatanga. E tūmanako ana ia kia rite ki a ia te whakama o ōna hoa kapa mō te raruraru o nāianei, ā, ka whakamahi i te wehi o te hapa hei hihiri ki te whakatikatika i ngā mea ki ngā Irish. "E kore au e mōhio mēnā he nui ake te mamae ki a au hei rangatira i ētahi atu kaitākaro, engari ko te ngaro i ā mātou kēmu katoa i tēnei wā, he nui te mamae ki a au, he tino pono", te kī a te kaitākaro 29-tau. <unk>E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakaaro ko te karo i te kauwhata rakau he take nui e akiaki ana ahakoa he rangatira koe, kaore ranei, na te mea kaore tetahi e hiahia ana ki te noho ki te kapa kaore i taea te tiki i tetahi wikitoria. Kia mahara, ahakoa, kaore ano tatou kia oti i raro, a, ka whai waahi tatou i tenei wiki ki te whakaoti i runga i...
Kāore a Greig Laidlaw e hiahia ana ki te hono atu ki a Chris Paterson me Ross Ford. I arahina e te tokorua a Scotland ki te kauwhata rakau i te tau 2004, 2007 me te 2012. Kāore anō a Ingarangi me Irīnia kia eke ki te kauwhata rākau. Mai i te wā i riro ai ngā iwi e rima ki te ono, kua 10 ngā wā i noho a Itari ki raro o te puranga.
