Troy Favell wants Kiwis to “Do as I say, not as I do”

Kiwis are very forgiving people. 

We appreciate that people make mistakes. 

Like former All Black Troy Favell who this week plead guilty to a count of driving with excess breath alcohol.  

Hankies at the ready.

 

Favell wants the whole country to know "I made a terrible, disgusting mistake and an embarrassingly poor decision. Obviously my actions come with consequences and I want to take that on the chin and move forward from this. I want to urge young people to understand - don't get behind the wheel after drinking."

 

Not a dry eye in the court that day.

 

Only Troy forgot to mention in his pleading for forgiveness, that this is the second time he’s been caught DIC, the last time was 1995. 

Do as I say not as I do.  

Then there’s also the little matter of last time he appeared in court. 

No not 1995.  

In 2004 when he admitted assaulting a 23-year-old man.  

His lawyer must love recidivist buffoons like him.

Drunken destruction and domestic violence. 

Hmmm? 

Where have I heard those terms before in relation to a N.Z sportsman? 

Give me a starter for 10. 

Oh that’s right, now I remember!   

And if one was to visit Byron Kelleher’s rugby themed pub in Toulouse – what would I expect in terms of a customer experience?  

Punch bags with dresses?  

Roman Vomitorium?  

Hopefully it will be 3^rd time unlucky with the French judiciary for Byron Kelleher.

 

His girlfriend won't need to 'fear his reprisals' knowing he's behind bars, facing deportation.
