Long before his foolish book, "Sir" Graham Henry's record gave cause for concern (Jan. 27, 2013)

This shameful episode from his time as Wales coach should have alerted us to "Sir" Graham Henry's grievous lack of moral fibre....
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sport/rugby_union/752625.stm

Of course, much worse was to come. In 2009 Henry was manipulated into writing a character reference for Tony "Bootboy" Veitch AFTER the bootboy had been outed as a violent, dangerous thug and a menace to women.

And of course last year he was cajoled by the idiotic old hack Bob Howitt into going along with Howitt's concocted grievance against the referee of the All Blacks' 2007 quarter-final loss. After a couple of TV interviews, in which it was clear that Henry did not believe a word of what Howitt had told him to say, the matter died. Not one person in the country, other than the Herald on Sunday's Gregor Paul, took him
seriously.

Which raises the question: What does it take to be stripped of a knighthood? Does serial foolishness and repeated telling of falsehoods not make "Sir" Graham at least slightly vulnerable?

Was he involved in the bribing of all those referees so the ABs could win?

What do you mean, "the bribing of all those referees"? Are you trying
to be funny?

===============================

as you suggested the only reason that NZ won RWC 2011 was bribery maybe it
applies to all their games :-)
