Centrepoint

Centrepoint was a commune in Albany, New Zealand, founded in 1977 by Herbert "Bert" Thomas Potter.[1][2] The commune reached a maximum population of 275. Centrepoint has been described as a cult, and was the site of widespread ***ual coercion and child ***ual abuse.[3][4][5]

In 1992, Potter was sentenced to a seven year prison sentence after being convicted of 13 charges of indecently assaulting five girls between 1979 and 1984. Justice Blanchard said that Potter had "systematically corrupted children for his own ***ual pleasure and had abused the power and trust community members placed in him".[6] Potter returned to Centrepoint on his release in March 1999, and left a year later after being paid to do so by commune members.[3] The commune was disestablished by court order on March 2000.[7]
 

Fuller Pilch

Cricket Web: All-Time Legend
If he was so overrated, why did two New Zealanders decide to drop him on his head?
He was a good player but not as good as the likes of Danie Gerber (I've only seen YouTube clips), Sella, Joe Stanley, Jason Little, Conrad Smith etc. I understand why Gatland dropped him in 2013.
 

Tom Flint

International Regular
Had he played in this era of Irish rugby he may have achieved greater success in terms of trophies and he wouldn't be seen as overated. A good chance they get over the line in one of the recent world cups with him in the side.
