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.
