Lions leap to defence of rest-day bungee
FOUR days before the biggest match of their lives, Lions stars threw themselves off the highest bungee in New Zealand.
Taulupe Faletau, whose try sparked the come-from-behind win in Wellington, leapt off a platform 134 metres above the Nevis River. He was followed by Jack Nowell and George Kruis.
Their exploits raised eyebrows in the All Blacks’ camp in downtown Auckland.
“I’d rather be training, to be honest,” said flanker Jerome Kaino. “But, hey, if that’s what they think will get the best out of their players, then good on them.”
