Why, because those Islanders hang together in their exotically clannish way?
Uh no, because it seems that meetings took place with English rather than Te Heuheu and any connections which might shed light on that seem pretty relevant. How did the matter reach his desk?

Tapu Misa reminds about the other likely connections here, beyond former sportsmen:
More likely this is about English (who has Pacific connections through his wife) being well aware of the need to get some runs on the board, and allowing himself to be persuaded that J.R. Pereira and colleagues were the best for the job. He should have known better.
Are journalists trying to establish detail about how Mary English fits into this story?

NZPA picks up story of Key apologising to the Chinese.
Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully was critical of Dr Norman's action and last night told The New Zealand Herald that Mr Key had telephoned the most senior minister in the visiting Chinese delegation to apologise on Friday night.
He "conveyed his regret that there had been this encounter and expressed the hope that it had not unduly affected what has been a very positive visit," Mr McCully said.
Like many stories, it also fails to qualify the Police's response with "in the time available", making it seem that there was just no evidence of any wrongdoing.

If you're suggesting that Herbert is going to "rest" anybody for the most important game in the history of NZ football, let me be the first to say: you're crazy.
I concur, with added arm-waving for emphasis
