It has been reported that Ex All Black international, Jerry Collins was arrested in a Japanese Supermarket in Hamamatsu after allegedly being seen carrying a blade beyond that of the legal length. Seen walking into the Market, he walked behind the counter, pulled the blade from under his jacket and placed it on the counter, soon after being with the security officials he was apparently "sweating prefusley and was in a state of panic or fluster" It turns out that he was being perused, and found refuge in the underground market . The security people of the shop sat him down and gave him water to drink. Authorities later then arrived and arrested him, bringing him to the local police station and held on custody.
A close friend Jerry's, said that he had been threatened earlier on that day on his facebook, with people posting threatening comments, which led to him carrying the weapon for "self defence" in fear of his own safety. The people posting the comments have yet to be identified but are apparently "Brazillian Gangsters" that he has had a misunderstanding with.
Collins had been in fear of his own life for a while now, lasting a few weeks of being constantly threatened. In Collins's own opinion he is "relieved to have been arrested as he is now at least safe, being in the police station". There has only been one video of the man in the station. In which he is being escorted back to his remand cell. It is possible he can be held in the station for up to 23 days, although he has since been released earlier yesterday morning (March 28th). It is has been also said that he has been treated very kindly and generously in the station. He does however have to pay a fine of $1900.
I am glad to see that he has been released and is now relieved from the pressure.

Chemistry in Rugby
Center Tag Teams.
Centers are the glue in a squad, without them the team is lost. In the worlds best clubs and countries, there have always been successful centers to successful sides, being the backbone of any team. In the all blacks, Ma'a Nonu and Sonny Bill Williams were made for each other, rotating in the first and second roles they have filled both very well,
playing to each others weaknesses and strenghts. Nonu adding weight as well as strength to the defence, and Williams being the agile fast reliable penetration of any line. This is an ideal pair, to any team, All Blacks or not.
In the English squad that beat New Zealand, Manu Tuilagi and Brad Barritt really made an impetuous performance. However Tuilagi really did end up taking the trophy as he outplayed Barritt. That said Barritt did have a good performance as well. Were he to have played 12 ? Things could have turned out slightly different than expected. The All Blacks are solid tacklers in the tight defence compared to that of out on the wing channels. Centers altogether in a nutshell are the making or breaking of any team. Having most crucial breaks, tackles and tries coming from their areas in the backline. Overall I think that Every team should have one playmaker and one powerhouse for centers. Playing to their strengths and weaknesses and complimenting their style of play.
