‘No easy games in N.Z.’
PA Auckland Even with many All Blacks unavailable, the French rugby team does not expect an easy test win over New Zealand in Christchurch on June 28, said Yves Noe, the side’s manager, last evening. The 30-man French side had an unexpected stopover in Auckland after its flight from Buenos Aires was delayed and it missed a connecting flight to Sydney. It will fly to Australia this morning, play Queensland on Sunday, Australian Capital Territory on Tuesday and Australia in Sydney on June 21. “Andy Haden told us when we were in London for the International Rugby Board meeting that even if the rebels were stopped from playing against France, the replacements would still produce a strong New Zealand side,” said Mr Noe. “In any case, there never seems to be an easy game in New Zealand,” said the man who managed the 1979 and 1984 French sides in this country.
