‘MARK TELEA MUST JOIN SPRINGBOKS’
IOL reports that the All Blacks player Mark Telea qualifies to play for the Springboks as he is half South African, half Samoan.
Telea’s father was born in Johannesburg South Africa, his mother is Samoan while the winger was born in Auckland, New Zealand.
Springboks’ fans are requesting for Telea to consider joining the South African team instead of the All Blacks.
The Cape Times reported on Wednesday, 25 October that Telea returned to the New Zealand fold after being forgiven by head coach Ian Foster for breaking curfew.
The 26-year-old had been one of their stars after scoring the fastest try in a World Cup opener against hosts France and then two against Italy.
