Campbell Fury at 'Kiwi Theft'
Lions Media manager, Alistair Campbell, has launched a furious attack on the All Blacks coach for what he says was an "entirely premeditated, underhand and devious plot to steal the legs of one of our finest players".
Lions star, Gavin Henson, who was due to start Saturday's test at inside centre, is said to be "distraught". It is believed that his legs were stolen during the night, possibly by a Kiwi hotel staff member.
Henson: legs stolen
Campbell told a hastily assembled press conference: "We have identified a 45 minute period during which the legs were stolen…We are keeping an open mind at this point, and if the legs are surrendered before Saturday's game we will not invade Wellington. Obviously, the ball is in Saddam's, er, I mean, Graham Henry's court here.
Dr Charlotte Church, the Lions' Chief Leg Inspector is believed to have been withdrawn from New Zealand in case she finds Henson's legs before the game. The legs are said to have a long range and be orange in appearance with a smooth 'waxed' feel. They are believed to have been brought from Donald Rumsfeld in the eighties.

Apparently evidence at the weekend confirms it - Henson's legs had indeed been stolen. Though they were returned in time for the game, they are believed to have been heavily sedated during their kidnapping.
