Robin Brooke was set to become All Black captain until he was accused of having sex with a drunk teenage girl according to the New Zealand Herald's Jared Savage.
"The claim that Brooke was to take over from Randell was made by rugby journalist Phil Gifford on a television panel.
"And in an interview with the New Zealand Rugby Monthly soon after, Randell said Hart had told him Brooke would replace him.
"...But TVNZ's Close Up last night reported that Brooke lost his chance to be captain after he allegedly had sex with a drunk and "comatose" teenage girl 12 years ago.
"The current affairs show earlier said the alleged incident took place in 1998 - a year after the girl first met Brooke in July 1997 and they had consensual sex. She was 17 at the time. He was 30 and had been married for eight months."
