All Blacks debutant Fehi Fineanganofo admits half-time vomit before France clash

Fehi Fineanganofo, a debutant for New Zealand's rugby team the All Blacks, admitted to vomiting in the locker room during halftime before his team's match against France. He was substituted onto the field in the final 11 minutes of the game, which New Zealand won 34-32. Fineanganofo expressed his nerves prior to the match and described feeling physically unwell during the halftime break. Despite his performance, he faces challenges due to a pre-existing contract with an English club, Newcastle, which would prevent him from representing New Zealand in the upcoming World Cup. His agent is attempting to resolve this issue to allow him to continue playing for New Zealand. Fineanganofo shared emotional moments with reporters post-match, including wearing a symbolic 'lolly necklace' to honor his achievements and family support.
