All Black fullback Bob Scott reckons he was "deliberately marked" when
he was flattened by a rogue Australian "bomb" at Eden Park on Saturday
night.
Scott was with a handful of former players on the field shortly
before kick-off in the test against the Wallabies when he was hit on
the head by a stray ball.
The 88-year-old had just been waving to
the crowd while doing a parade of the park and was lining up in a guard
of honour as both teams continued their warm-ups.
"I was standing
there and then, God, I got this smack on the top of the head with this
ball and it was bloody hard," said the man who, in 17 tests, was
regarded as utterly reliable under the high ball.
