Rebel with a cause...

When All Black lock Jason Eaton got badly injured prior to the RWC last year Graham Henry and the rest of the All Black management team were beginning to worry as already they had lost lock James Ryan from the RWC squad. They then went on to lose Ali Williams to a broken jaw which luckily heeled in time for France.


Jason Eaton was obviously more shattered than the coaching staff. The giant Hurricane known for his outrageous mullet and facial hair decided to deal with his depression by not shaving his beard or cutting his hair.





Eaton is raising money for chairty now and will pull a donors name out of a hat to see who has the privilege of shaving off his beard and the highest pledgee will get the chance to shave his head.

Amazing...


The Super 14 kick offs this weekend and The Canes first game is against the Waratahs in Sydney on Saturday. I look forward to what Phil Kearns will have to say about the hairycane...
