In a classic piece of theatre, a chap called Rob, from Tamaki, who was the PM, stepped down on to the runway, (no air bridges in those days) from the plane returning him from overseas, and was accosted by a journalist stating "Bill Rowling has said..."
With a totally mystified look on his face, Rob said "WHO'?
It was only ever bettered by the late great Andy Haden, who stepped off the plane in similar fashion, and was questioned by a sports commentator about the line out dive in Wales.
Staring down on him, in a gruff voice, Andy said "Rugby's rugby"!
How could you argue with that?
