[QUOTE="Jaguares, post: 586479, member: 63264"] I think that NZRU see a great marketing opportunity. SBW has a lot of fans outside of rugby, people who know little about rugby has him as an icon of our sport. He's a kind of "the new Jonah Lomu", a big player with a powerful physique that dazzles crowds, especially to people who don't look rugby constantly. Personally I don't like that, I prefer players like Christian Cullen, Doug Howlett or Conrad Smith before Lomu and SBW but I guess that must be the thought of NZRU, attracting crowds with a popular rugby player on and off the rugby.
