A fuming Sir Graham Henry said he had called in his lawyer after his comments at a rugby club function were printed in the press. Edward Rooney reports for the Herald on Sunday.
"The former All Blacks coach was quoted from a fundraising dinner in Napier on Thursday night, stating he would have left the country if the All Blacks had lost the Rugby World Cup final to France.
"I would have been in the south of France smoking marijuana and drinking red wine," he apparently said. "I would still have the same woman ... nobody else would have me."
"Asked about his comments yesterday, Henry was furious: "It shouldn't be in the paper. It was done as a fundraiser for Hawke's Bay Rugby."
"An Evening with Sir Graham Henry was a $120 per head dinner at the East Pier on the Napier waterfront raising funds for the Hawke's Bay's rugby development programme.
"Henry said he'd had an arrangement with the event organisers that there would be no media coverage."
