Kurow Rugby Club must be the saddest, most dysfunctional club in New Zealand

Kurow is a small town in North Otago that can barely throw together enough fit adult men to form a pool team, let alone, let alone enough to field a single senior men’s rugby squad. 

One thing they are not short of down the Hakataramea is the propensity to get ‘trolleyed’ after a game of rugger.

That’s what men-folk in country football teams do & have done for decades. 
 
You would have thought the death of a club member in a car accident after one of these prescribed after-matches (2016) would have tempered this practice & brought some sanity to this small sporting club.
 
Made the local community as whole take-a-look at themselves.
 
Like fuck!

Here they are, at it again.

This blog features many rugby clubs up & down the country.

All for the wrong reasons I must add.  

Per head of population The Kurow Rugby Club must be the saddest, most dysfunctional club in New Zealand. 
 
Richie McCaw should be embarrassed every-time someone uses the sobriquet 'The Kurow Kid'.   
 


  

 

It goes without say another Rugby Pro Escapes Conviction

One pissed-up rugby star. 

Heated late night domestic. 

You already know this won’t end-up well.  

By the end of the night she ends-up suffering bruising to the side of her face and waist, bleeding from the knee. 

Who is ‘he’ in all of this? 

Sevu Reece of Waikato & his court appearance was today.

Facing the charge of common assault, he was discharged without conviction. 

Now replace ‘rugby star’ with say ‘taxi driver’ or ‘office manager’. 

 

Ask yourself?

You’ll doubtless come to the same conclusion as me as to justice being served evenly in this country. 

Up-Date Wednesday 03^rd Oct: Irish Club, Connacht, that Reece was due to join has dumped him despite his discharge. Clearly Irish Rugby officials treat domestic violence differently than N.Z Rugby. If ever there was an opportunity to show decisive action in-line with the sports Respect and Responsibility protocols – this was it. Reece is due to play this weekend for Waikato. What was his punishment again? Remind me.   

2^nd Up-date Monday 15^th October: Well what else did you expect from N.Z Rugby? They would act in the same chivalrous, decisive fashion as their Irish counterparts? Make a stand against domestic violence? You gotta be joking! Reece has been sent on some wishy-washy course, stood down for a single game. Wow! That will teach him a lesson, show the public that wife beaters have no place in the sport of rugby in 2018. Waikato Rugby Union sponsors include the likes of McDonalds, Vodafone, Waikato University, YMCA, The Breeze Radio Station etc.  These sponsors have had their name tarnished.
