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.
