The New Zealand Rugby Union says comments by a former Samoa international that the All Blacks would have toured Nazi Germany if the price was right are offensive and ridiculous.

Outspoken former Samoa centre Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu made the comments in a YouTube video, criticising New Zealand Rugby for not playing a test in Samoa, Fiji or Tonga.
Fuimaono-Sapolu said Polynesian players have had a big influence on the success of New Zealand rugby, but the sport's bosses are only interested in money.
A New Zealand Rugby spokesperson said on Friday they have no other comment to make on the matter.
