"She pulled out the jandal and threatened to hit me that night"
Extract from Stuff.co.nz regarding Wellingotn's upcoming game against Canterbury at the Caketin, and Neemia Tialata shows he is just a gigantic mama's boy:
It will be McCaw's first return to Westpac Stadium in a red-and-black jersey since the Crusaders match on April 1. He was an obvious target for the Hurricanes that night, and when their inability to blunt his impact boiled over, things turned nasty.
Flanker Jerry Collins hurled the ball at McCaw's head and prop Neemia Tialata looked keen to throttle McCaw as he lay on the ground.
The incident sparked an outcry that Tialata has since said he was oblivious to till he got home later that night.
"I knew straight away when I saw the look on my mum's face that I had done something wrong," he said.
"I hadn't thought much of it at the time but I could recall that I had my hands around Richie's throat at one stage.
"She pulled out the jandal and threatened to hit me that night – so I have learned my lesson."
