Campbell Johnstone, a New Zealand prop who played three Tests in 2005 including two against the British and Irish Lions, has received support from former coaches and peers in the rugby world after becoming the first All Blacks player to come out as gay.
The 43-year-old Johnstone made the announcement on a New Zealand current affairs television program on Monday, saying he had been "living a lie" and leading "a double life" before acknowledging his sexuality.
