WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Neemia Tialata and Cory Jane can expect a talking to from All Blacks coach Graham Henry after revealing on the social networking site Twitter they had been left out of the New Zealand to play England this weekend.
The pair published the news they were being rested more than 24 hours before Henry formally announced his lineup on Wednesday.
Henry, a former schoolmaster, said the players would not be punished for their leak but would be warned not to do it again.
"I had to find out what ... Twitter was. I thought it was a new guy playing five-eighth for England," Henry told the New Zealand Press Association.
"I haven't lost any sleep over it ... a quiet reminder tomorrow won't go astray but it's not a major. There won't be six of the cane in the corner."
