All Black Byron Kellher Dating a Porn Star

Revelations that All Black rugby star Byron Kelleher is dating a famous American porn star have raised questions among former Springbok greats over whether the scrumhalf will be able to get it up for his Tests on the pitch. Kelleher, who has played 36 Tests for the All Blacks, disclosed recently that his girlfriend was Singapore-born sex kitten Ashley Spalding - a/k/a Kaylani Lei - who has starred in 88 adult movies. Kelleher, 29, said he had been dating the former Las Vegas dancer, who has been nominated for numerous awards in the porn film industry, for the past eight months. Byron Kelleher's revelation that his new girlfriend is porn star drew a lot of attention in the press when the All Blacks were in Cape Town last week. Dale Granger, one of South Africa's best media sleuths, was straight onto the case, gathering a tribe of past Springboks to give their views on sex and rugby. Some of the gems in the Weekend Argus newspaper included James Dalton revealing he, "had some of my best games after a good romp on the morning of the match." James Small wanted to personally shake Byron's hand, saying, "If he can satisfy a woman who has performed in 88 porn movies, he must be a legend." Byron Kelleher say he was simtten, "I was impressed by her bubbly personality. She's good looking and we got on like a house on fire. She's in a professional environment and is treated in a professional way and that's the same as me," the feisty halfback said. His relationship with Lei has coincided with some of the best rugby of his career. He has emerged as the No 1 scrumhalf in New Zealand, forcing arch-rival Justin Marshall into retirement from international rugby. All Black coach Graham Henry said on Friday he had no concerns over Kelleher's form at Newlands. Springbok coach Jake White said this week he was not concerned about his players having sex before rugby. "If Byron's girl is anything to go by, he is going to have a cracker of a game." They met last December after Byron and a mate decided to have a bit of R'n'R at Jamaica's Hedonism resort. Byron and Ashley clamped eyes on each other at the bar where Ashley says she was attracted to Byron's "cocky" attitude. They spent the next two weeks together getting to "know" one another. So what did the porn star and All Black find out about each other? Well I think we can figure that one out. She's since quit the west Hollywood porn scene and has moved to Byron's digs in Hamilton. He reckons he hasn't seen any of her films. Bet the rest of the team has though Byron.
