    Another special test match for Owen Franks

    Another special test match for Owen Franks


    The All Blacks are playing Argentina in Nelson this Saturday night, a
    fortnight after Franks became New Zealand's newest test match centurion.

    He was born 45 kilometres up the road in Motueka and says trips to Nelson
    were rare growing up.

    Franks says Nelson was like the big smoke for him and they'd only go there
    when nana took them to the movies.

    Owen Franks says his nana, cousins and family friends are all coming to the
    game on Saturday night and it'd be special to play a test so close to home.
