WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) All Blacks flanker Jerome Kaino has rejected claims he tried to injure British and Irish Lions scrumhalf Conor Murray by diving at his legs during the first rugby test at Eden Park on Saturday.
Video has circulated on social media which shows Kaino apparently throwing himself at Murray as the Ireland scrumhalf kicks the ball in the 10th minute of the match which was won 30-15 by New Zealand.
Lions coach Warren Gatland on Monday accused the All Blacks of targeting the legs of Lions players, especially Murray, when they attempted to charge down kicks during the Auckland test.
