Jake Paringatai is a good fit in any rugby team



This is the Joseph Goebbelsesque bio on the Highlanders web site…   

Jake Paringatai started his Super Rugby career with the Crusaders back in 2007 after making his domestic debut for Northland in the NPC back in 2003.  A hard-nosed loose forward, Paringatai has been plying his trade in the Japanese Top League over the past few seasons.  He will join a Highlanders forward pack that has plenty of experience and he will be a good fit for the men from the South. 

There’s of course a gapping hole in this account of Paringatai’s rugby career. 

Perhaps a reason why he went off overseas to ply his trade? 

Back in 2009 the then-Crusader was found guilty of Sexual Assault. 

That’s him in the photo leaving court.  

His lawyer tried to paint a picture of a player no longer able to be a part of the New Zealand rugby scene.   

A good fit for the men of the south?  

I hope the WAG’s of the Highlanders wear something skimpy to after-matches.
