France drug scandal no surprise, I knew they were on something, says former All Black Wayne 'Buck' Shelford
An All Blacks legend whose scrotum was ripped open in an infamous 1986 Test match against France has said he is not surprised by allegations that Les Bleus were on amphetamines at the time.
Wayne "Buck" Shelford was the most prominent casualty in the so-called "Battle of Nantes", when a fired-up French team brutally attacked New Zealand to seize a 16-3 victory.
Shelford was caught at the bottom of a ruck 20 minutes into the game, losing four teeth, and sustained a large tear to his scrotum courtesy of a stray French boot.
