Southland All Blacks Jimmy Cowan and Jamie Mackintosh have been praised by their bosses following an incident where they were reportedly set upon by a group of skinheads in the Coromandel.The New Zealand Herald reported that Cowan, Mackintosh and All Black first five-eighth Stephen Donald were attacked by a group described as skinheads in the early hours of December 29 after a Blacks Seeds concert at the Coroglen Tavern.
Mercury Bay taxi driver Sean Campbell witnessed the attack by "six or seven" men over three to four minutes.
He later drove the All Black trio to Matarangi, where they were staying, after Cowan asked him for assistance.At one point the 130kg Mackintosh reportedly covered Donald, who was left with facial injuries, with his body to protect him.
Neither Cowan nor Mackintosh were willing to comment yesterday, Cowan saying via text that the incident had been "blown out of context".
Their agent, Tom Downey, spoke with the players yesterday.
Unfortunately, dealing with these sorts of incidents was a fact of life for high-profile people, Mr Downey said."It's probably a good example of the potential for high-profile people to be the target of a certain group of people. It's something all high-profile sports people need to be aware of," Downey said.

A California ministry is awaiting a verdict in a discrimination lawsuit filed in Contra Costa County.
Faith Center Church Evangelistic Ministries was using a local public library room for a meeting -- which included a Bible message and prayer -- until library officials threw them out. Alliance Defense Fund attorney Tim Chandler is handling the case.
"The library meeting is available to any organization to use for any purpose with the exception of, according to the library, religious services," the attorney notes. "And so they have excluded the church from being able to access their meeting room." Chandler believes library officials have gone to an extreme. "They even admitted that they would welcome the KKK, but churches are not [welcomed]," he points out. "I think that's a sad day for America when we start seeing that in our public facilities."
According to Chandler, federal courts have ruled that if one voice is permitted, a religious one cannot be prohibited. "We are going to continue to push that issue here at the Alliance Defense Fund to ensure that Christians are afforded equal access to public facilities, as the Constitution requires," he concludes.

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Jan. 13 (UPI) -- Federal investigators say they are looking at charges that police in Long Island's Suffolk County mishandled or ignored reports of hate crimes against Latinos.
Newsday said Tuesday that the U.S. Department of Justice has started an inquiry into the cases that stretch back to 2000 and were documented by Latino activists.
The Suffolk County Police Department said it welcomed the investigation and stated that crimes against Latino immigrants were no more prevalent in their community than they were in New York City.
"We welcome the DOJ looking into these incidents, many of which had not been reported until recently," said police spokesman Tim Motz.
Latino Justice called for the federal probe after an Ecuadorian immigrant was killed in an apparent hate crime in November. The organization contended that similar attacks have been under-reported for years.
