	New Zealand All Blacks Player Profiles, Match Details and Statistics
		Josh Kronfeld was one of three virtual newcomers to the All Blacks who despite their youth and inexperience played dominant roles in the 1995 World Cup in South Africa.
		Kronfeld, after one match in 1992, became a regular in the Otago side in 1993 and one of his early matches was in the decisive win over the British Lions.
		Kronfeld surprisingly was relegated to the reserves for the second Bledisloe Cup test against the Wallabies later in the 1995 season, though in the match in Sydney he did take the field at halftime.

	Josh Kronfeld: Under the spotlight \|\| TheLeicesterTigers.co.uk - Unofficial Leicester Tigers News and Views
		Josh's loyalty to the side was shown when, along with teammate Jeff Wilson, he was the first to sign with the NZ RFU during their World Cup wrangles.
		Kronfeld is the link between the pack and the backs and is a prime example of one of the most talented players in that position.
		Josh seems to be settled in Leicester and enjoys playing for a team that are the best bunch of players he’s worked with, so perhaps Richards will move him off the bench and onto the pitch.

	Josh Kronfeld - New Zealand Rugby Player - Rugby-Heroes.net
		Like the man himself, Josh Kronfeld's ethnic origin was rather unorthodox - he described himself as "German-Samoan", an unusual combination to say the least.
		Josh made his debut in an easy win against Canada in the World Cup year of 1995, but Jones still reigned supreme and in normal circumstances would have commanded the open sided slot in all New Zealand's tournament matches.
		With Josh and Michael Jones part of an unbroken pack which played in all ten tests that season, the opposition didn't stand a chance.

		JOSH KRONFELD had a simple answer yesterday to why he has joined Leicester to become English rugby union's most charismatic overseas recruit.
		Kronfeld also admitted that he would be content to play at blindside rather than openside, the position which Neil Back has made his own.
		Kronfeld will do well to match the success of Pat Howard, their leading overseas player, who has decided to return to Sydney in an effort to win international honours.

	Josh pulls a flanker \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		Kronfeld's reputation is for using his head as much as his grabbing hands.
		Sloan says that Kronfeld is 'unique' with his relentless pursuit of the ball, his ruggedness, graft and intelligence - as good, in his own way, as was the great Michael Jones with his peerless athleticism and cool skills.
		Today, Kronfeld wins his 45th cap, just six short of the predecessor who is the All Blacks' most capped No 7 and an icon regarded by many New Zealanders as their greatest ever player.

		As a player, Kronfeld's biggest attribute was considered to be the speed with which he was able to get to breakdowns in play, in order to gain or regain possession of the ball.
		Kronfeld remained a first choice player for Otago, the Highlanders and the All Blacks until 2000, at which point he moved to England to take up a contract with Leicester Tigers.
		In 2003, Kronfeld returned to New Zealand, and subsequently retired from first class rugby.

		Josh Kronfeld burst on to the world stage in the 1995 World Cup, along with fellow stars Andrew Mehrtens and Jonah Lomu, and was hailed as one of a new breed of All Blacks capable of wrestling the trophy back from Australia.
		Despite this Kronfeld was surprisingly dropped to the bench for the second Bledisloe Cup Test later that year, although he did appear as a half-time replacement.
		Some say the snub was because Kronfeld, along with team-mate Jeff Wilson, had broken ranks and signed contracts with the New Zealand Rugby Football Union (NZRFU) to effectively nullify the threat of a World Rugby Corporation breakaway.

		DUNEDIN -- Former All Black flanker Josh Kronfeld says much of the rugby in this year's Super 12 competition has been "awful" and has called on the rule-makers to seek more input from the players.
		Kronfeld, who will take up a contract with an English club in July, said he had not found it difficult to be on the sidelines this season.
		Kronfeld, 29, who retired from international rugby at the end of last year after playing 54 Tests for the All Blacks, said rule-makers tampering with interpretations had ruined the early stages of the competition.

		Kronfeld, 32, confirmed this weekend he was available for the draft but would prefer to have a break before he agreed to join one of the teams.
		Kronfeld, who played 54 tests for the All Blacks, 69 matches for Otago and 42 for the Highlanders between 1992 and 2000, said his body, while battered from more than a decade of top-class rugby, was still holding up.
		Kronfeld said he would be keen to have some involvement with Otago rugby this year, though in what capacity he was unsure.

	CNN/SI - Rugby Union - New Zealand's Kronfeld cleared to face South Africa - Thursday August 06, 1998 11:40 AM
		WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) -- All Black flanker Josh Kronfeld was declared fit Thursday to travel to South Africa this week after suffering concussion in his last clash with the Springboks.
		Kronfeld, who was concussed during the All Blacks 13-3 loss to South Africa at Athletic Park on July 25, was named in the 26-man squad but his fitness was still in doubt Wednesday.
		Kronfeld's availability as openside flanker will ease the headache for selectors as they decide on the best loose-forward combination to face the Springboks at Durban in New Zealand's final Tri-Nations match on August 15.

	a Tribute to Josh Kronfeld - Rugbyheads
		So Josh limped off the field, with a dejected look on his face and got to watch the rest of his "benefit" match from the sideline.
		But even if Josh played superbly for the whole of the NPC, he was part of a very ordinary Otago team.
		Josh was a legend all right, one of those players that you admire even when he is playing for the opposition.

		Kronfeld and Osborne had been tipped for possible selection but Mehrtens had only recently gained recognition during the 1994 season, when Canterbury won the Ranfurly Shield.
		Again, solid kiwi defence was required to thwart the upstart Wallabies, particularly noteworthy was the pressure applied by Josh Kronfeld who made the debut partnership of Merrick and Bowen a bit of a nightmare at times.
		Unfortunately his comeback was truncated when he was substituted at half-time for Josh Kronfeld due to injury, however the dynamic Kronfeld certainly did not disappoint, and turned in a superb effort all round.

		One of the most prolific forwards of all-time with 14 tries in international rugby, the man, who made 63 appearances for Otago and 42 Super 12 appearances for the Highlanders, excelled at securing possession in the tackle, in his support play and anticipation when moves broke down.
		Kronfeld is certainly looking forward to taking over the captaincy role during the critical early phase of the season from England skipper Martin Johnson and is the first overseas player to lead Tigers since Colin Martin - another New Zealander - who captained the team from 1960-63.
		Kronfeld will first lead Tigers out as captain at the team's pre-season friendlies against Perpignan, Cardiff Blues and Sharks this August.

		There is certainly no shame in being eclipsed by a man who stands 6ft 4in tall and weighs in at 18 stones, but All Black openside Josh Kronfeld was undoubtedly overshadowed in the 1995 World Cup by rugby's first true superstar, Jonah Lomu.
		But it was as a support runner that Kronfeld really came into his own with New Zealand's open game ideally suited to the 6ft 1in forward.
		An identical move was played out in New Zealand's next game against Wales, with Kronfeld in support to touch down, while his ability to be in the right place at the right time bagged him a try in the semi-final against England.

		In 1997 Josh Kronfeld suffered several injuries which curtailed his Super 12 appearances, but that did not stop him participating in New Zealand's successful Tri Nations defence.
		As a person, Josh did not exactly fit the traditional All Black imagery of a forward.
		The man that he respected most of all was of course the one who had inspired him to become an All Black in the first place - Michael Jones, and Josh was deeply in awe of someone who could put his religious standpoint before rugby.

		But much respect to Josh whatever he does.
		Bit past his prime now tho, dont think he'll be doing himself full credit if he trys to jump back into s12.
		Given the fairly high injury rate of flankers, it wouldn't surprise too much to see Kronfeld on either side of someone's scrum by the end of the S12.

		DURBAN -- The return of openside flanker Josh Kronfeld to the New Zealand starting line-up is a major threat which South Africa will have to counter in Saturday's Tri-Nations rugby Test at Kings Park in Durban.
		Kronfeld, who was instrumental in turning over Springbok possession in South Africa's 13-3 victory in Wellington, sat out the recent All Blacks defeat to the Wallabies at Christchurch with concussion.
		However, he is fit again and his experience will be vital in a new-look Kiwi loose-trio which sees captain Taine Randell on the blindside flank and the bustling Isitolo Maka at No 8.
