The china syndrome

摘要

Former All Black Ant Strachan is a long-time collector of delicate English china. ANT STRACHAN'S MATES can't believe the Royal Doulton survived his younger days. It's not on his CV, but reputation suggests a few larrikin years in university flats as he was building his rugby career. The antics of those days would not have fitted well with a collection of heirloom plates, cups and teapots. And even today hard rugby men are "a little taken aback" when they see Ant's enthusiasm for his display of china.
