All Black coach Graham Henry and French coach Marc Lievremont both die and enter the Pearly Gates.
St Peter takes Marc on a tour of heaven and ends up at a little two-bedroom cottage with a faded French rugby banner hanging from the front porch. “This is your house, Marc,” says St Peter, “You’re very lucky. Most people don’t get their own houses up here, you know.”
Marc looks at the house, then turns around and sees the huge mansion on top of the hill. A massive, multi-storey building with marble columns, balconies and attractive gardens.
All Black banners line both sides of the footpath and a huge New Zealand flag hangs between the entrance columns.
“Merci beaucoup, St Peter,” Marc says, ”But let me ask you a question. How come I get this little two-bedroom cottage and Graham Henry gets a huge mansion with all those marble columns.”
St Peter looks up the hill and turns back to Marc: ”That’s not Henry’s house,” he says . “That’s God’s house.”
