This is so sad. But it's also good to view the issue from a another perspective. It is reasonable to point the finger at the All Black as an Organisation and its shortfall in its social responsibility for players. But I think it all comes down to the players as individuals in how they choose, live and manage their own lives. A wise player will have a back-up plan and also be able to look well ahead into the future and the rainy days. The absence of this would just lead to an unhappy ending. This is one of the problems some of our Tongan rugby players faced. It's good to play rugby but remember it would not be that long. After that what will do? So, Education & Skills Training should also be considered by players. It's something they can fall back into after rugby.
