Description

The scene shows a huge rugby boot slamming down. The boot is labelled 'Weapon of crass destruction'. It is on the foot of All Black Troy Flavell who was ordered off in the Blues' second Super 12 match of the 2003 season for stomping the Chiefs' hooker Greg Smith. That offence saw Flavell suspended for 12 weeks and the rest of the Super 12 and dashed hopes he had of World Cup later in the year. The 'weapon of crass destruction' calls to mind the 'weapons of mass destruction' that the United States is intent on finding in Iraq.
