Taine Randell: former All Blacks captain explains why he's joining up with New Zealand First
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Ex-All Blacks captain Taine Randell says he's joining New Zealand First for this year's election, after a long dance with the party.
An announcement by leader Winston Peters was scheduled at a public meeting in Hastings on Sunday, but cancelled because of Cyclone Vaianu.
Randall's likely to become Hawke’s Bay official candidate in coming weeks.
He says he's fortunate to have had a great rugby career - but his eyes have now turned to the state of the country.
"Right, now the next phase of my life - I'm pretty keen to contribute to New Zealand."
