He is the author of the welcome-back article for the All Blacks coach. It is quite normal, RugbyHeaven is quite a good rugby site except when the All Blacks are the subject.
The other one is called Marc Hinton and looks like this
I can't understand his behaviour anyway. He's RugbyHeaven's co editor and that ought to mean some kind of responsibility, but when he writes this article to kick the Super 14 season off one can't avoid wondering what's going on?
Is RugbyHeaven so enamoured of Henry that they can't live a second without writing about him? Even when the All Backs are not playing? Is hate New Zealand's national sport or is it rugby?
To RugbyHeaven: Ladies and Gentlemen, Graham Henry is the All Blacks coach, like it or not. We all have our own ideas on what would we do if we were on command, but we are not, fortunately. Fortunately the person on command knows a full lot of rugby. Live with it.

I haven't had the time to follow the debate but it sounds as though it has offeded you.
I think I have said this before. NZ will continue to excel in 7's until the other countries get their acts together. When a little country of 6 million like NZ stops taking rugby as a seriously as nuclear weapons, expect a different focus . Until that time, hate and love are interchangeable in that rugby society. Rugby is a way of saying "Look at us, we are the best in the world." When you start messing with that vision, the cosequences can be bloody.
If that ever happens, NZ will lose its soul.
I will read Planetheaven tonight and give you my thoughts....usually I think planetheaven has the best journos so I am surprised that they are so harsh on Henry...I think it is an Aussie site as well so the whole thing doesn't make sense to me now. Stay tuned , if interested , for my update.
Hate is not a family value.
