All Blacks captain Richie McCaw should watch his back - because Prime Minister John Key says he risks getting tasered if he fails to win the Rugby World Cup next year. The Sydney Morning Herald's John Hartevelte reports.
"Mr Key this morning addressed an audience of Kiwi businessmen in South Korea's capital, Seoul. He joked he had given Mr McCaw the hard word about clinching the World Cup when New Zealand hosts the tournament next year.
"I've tried to tell Richie McCaw that it's very important - it's an election year," Key said.
If Mr McCaw won the cup "he may well become Sir Richard McCaw".
"Now I've encouraged him to get to know the minister of police, because I've decided that if he doesn't win the World Cup, maybe we could consider tasering him as well," Key said. "There is sort of an option either way there - we are an incentive-based political party."
