Players from Two N.Z Super Rugby Franchises ‘at it’ on the same night...wait there's more

One: 

Pissed-up Chiefs team cause mayhem after their finals loss in Christchurch. 

Link to that one. 

Two: 

Meanwhile that very same night Shannon Frizell (All Black and Highlanders) is allegedly involved in a wee small’s incident in Dunedin. 

Frizells alleged incident is said to involve a woman.

Link  to number two.

Prospective sponsors of The All Blacks beware.

Most professional codes of football rid their games of this behaviour decades ago.

Not New Zealand Rugby.

This is the accepted off-field norm behaviour wise.

Oh yeah.

Whilst I'm here.  

BTW ex All Black Zac Guilford has just been done for a savage attack on a woman.

Link to that sad specimen of a human.   

Good luck Silver Lake.

N.Z Rugby players continue to what they do best

 

Frankly too busy to do a whole heap of words on each individual case involving high-profile N.Z Rugby players ‘playing-up’ since I last posted.

Instead what I’ll do the headline & link you to the sad state of affairs, that remains N.Z Rugby off-the-paddock.

In other-words: nothing has changed from last year, or the year before etc etc.  

Balclutha player needs bowel surgery after a rival club member shoves a pool cue up his arse. Yes, really.

Liquored-up Gisborne rugby players slug it out in aclubrooms carpark.

Highlanders on a bender in Queenstown ruin fellow hotel occupant’s holidays.

 Aleki Morris-Lome from Otago caught drink driving.

Ex All Black Jimmy Cowan caught drunk behind the wheel, swerving dangerously all over the road.  

Side-line stoush on the West Coast.

Otago axe ex All Black Josh Loane and Vili Koroi from their NPC team after what looks like, turning-up to practice pissed.

Wellington rugby player facing serious assault charges carrying a possible jail-sentence, is permitted to continue playing club rugby for Tawa. Whilst his victims, two members of the Old Boys University club were left too injured themselves to play.        

 

 

 

Gisborne Rugby Incident ‘fuelled by alcohol’ God Forbid, what next?

The most overused N.Z euphemism, in the context of the third-estates reporting of our national code, must be; incident. 

If you have 10 minutes try counting them-up HERE.

Incident of course doesn't do justice to what happened in the car-park of Rugby Park, Gisborne. 

Still, could we honestly expect the media to go 'full retard' on rugby in N.Z, given that virtually every page in the land currently features an article on the sport?  

Hell no!   

It's left to moi.

Whenever you read the term ‘Aspiring Rugby Player’ in a New Zealand Newspaper you know what will come next

Police.

Courts.

Violence.

All follow like day into night.

Jesse Montagu sounds like a real ‘piece of works’ & another fine,up-standing product of South Canterbury Rugby.

If ever the term ‘do as I say, not as I do’ needed a home.

It would be The South Canterbury Rugby Union.

A sporting body that has the noble aspiration to address violence in N.Z society.

Only this cessation of violence in our homes & on our streets never applies to the players from this region.  

Just the rest of us.

Southland Stag Player Facing an Assault Charge

What were you doing last Sunday morning?

No, not 8.00 am.

Say, more like 3.00 am?

Tucked-up in the scratcher probably.

Not say involved in a brawl outside a 24 hour dairy?

Oh, unsurprisingly you prefer to leave that sort of activity to professional rugby players.

Like say Southland Stags player Manaaki Selby-Rickit who fronted court in Invercargill today facing a charge of assaulting with intent to injure.

Police outlined "The victim suffered a fractured jaw after allegedly being punched then kicked whilst on the ground."

Selby-Rickit is the son of former All Black, Hud Rickit.

ODT Report. 

Kiwi's are told constantly it's part of our DNA. 

Apparently. 

Future All Blacks Brawling

Auckland First Fifteen School boys brawling over the weekend in the game between Mangere College 1st XV at Tamaki College.

 Will the Rugby Channel be televising this?  

Ex Southland Stags Captain pleads guilty to attempting to pervert justice

Ex Southland Stags rugby captain Davin Heaps, who also played for the Highlanders, Hurricanes and Blues, admitted in Invercargill Court, Friday, to the charges of willfully attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Sycophantic references -- yawn -- from former All Black buddies Justin Marshall, Kees Meeuws and Simon Culhane failed to sway the judge.

That’s a breath-of-fresh-air in itself.

Heaps (48) was sentenced community detention and ordered to pay thousands of dollars reparation after instructing an employee who suffered a hand injury on his farm to lie to Worksafe investigators.

Surely having played in so-many Super franchises, Air New Zealand could see fit to also included Heaps in their next lavish safety video? 

Help the bloke out of a hole - one he dug. 

Lately I've been wondering, why Kiwis would bother with a genealogical DNA test, when it's invariably only going to show-up 'Rugby'? 

Not that your grandmother is part Albanian & you didn't get your blue eyes off your father.

Still, this is N.Z after-all.

Who wouldn't want to be a part of Davin Heaps fine lineage?
