Only two current All Blacks have refused to travel to South Africa - John Kirwan and David Kirk. Discussion and viewer talkback with All Black halfback David Kirk about why he will not play in South Africa, and what he thinks may be the implications of this rebel tour on New Zealand's future sporting contacts.
