That is a personal choice not an requirement or obligation, ..and there are many levels of judaism and observance.

Really? ...I think there is a lot more history and emotion to this than anyone who is not a Kiwi can possibly begin to understand, ..but then this was a tough one for us to publish because it is after all a sporting perspective, ...and we know with this there are always two very different loyalties.
Thankfully we have 22 large men more than happy to settle this matter on our behalf, ...which they have now more than admirably done.

I realise that we can't solve every disaster but, you do make very pertinent points about there not being such a personal connection to Haiti in the UK - we spent more money on the Pakistan quake in one month than we have in six months of Haiti....
