I don't understand why they are so keen to stay in the IMF.

I was very keen for Dennis to stay but he came in on Saturday morning and said he didn't think it was right to stay on and I wished him all the best. Dennis was disappointed, which is understandable, but he can still do a good job on the football field. At the end of the day he has got to be mentally right and he told me he wasn't and you have to respect his decision. He's been a great professional.

They'd rather stay where they are and continue doing what they're doing, ... They understand what we have to do is in the best interest of the community.

It was true that I was keen for him to stay. However I have spoken to him three or four times in Japan. I did not twist his arm to come back. He wants to play for the All Blacks.

From what I understand, no one's hurt, but my mom wouldn't tell me if she's not doing well anyway. She wouldn't want me to worry.

Why is it so hard for the IMF and the U.S. government to understand that putting out the fire comes before fireproofing the building?
