As a Scotland and British and Irish Lions captain and coach, Jim Telfer has stirred incredible controversy from his native Borders to New Zealand. He has also been the subject of much criticism, and now wants to set the record straight. What made him lambast New Zealand rugby in the hotbed of Canterbury?
