Risky business
OPINION: In the same way that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, economists sometimes get it right.
OPINION: The Hound suggests that former All Black legend and King Country farmer, the late, great Sir Colin Meads, will be turning in his grave at the antics of current AB halfback TJ Perenara.
The Hurricane - and let's face it, overly woke - player recently decreed that he is a vegan because "animal farming is destroying the planet".
Meads, who once famously suggested that modern-day players would be better off eating more steak than poncing around with fancy diets, would no doubt be rolling his eyes about Perenara's claim.
The great Pinetree would probably point out how flying around the world to play a game of footy is doing infinitely more damage to the planet than eating a lamb chop every couple of days.
Mind you, Meads was a legend and a colossus of our national game, something Perenara will never be!
