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.

Rugby head lauds violent nut-case ex South Canterbury Rep shot by police

An armed ex South Canterbury Rugby Rep Donald Iveson was scarpering the scene on Sunday after terrorising his own family, when he drove directly into a policeman alerted to the gunfire.  

The injured constables companion returned fire and Iveson was killed.

Good thing, if you ask me.

Not so, the rugby administrators. 

Serial apologist for the continual anti-social actions of his constituents, South Canterbury Rugby Union chief executive Craig Calder, glibly dismissed Ineson's death as “a tragic loss to the rugby family”

Calder wants to reassure us "He was a lock sort of in the mould of a Brodie Retallick today”

So, fucking what you dick?!

I’m sure his family left cowering in their house whilst this nut-bar poured round after round into the front door were interested in this sporting analogy.  

Fortunately, most people in New Zealand don’t think like rugby administrators.
  

Normal New Zealanders place the victims first. 
 
We still care about the family that was traumatised, first. 

The policeman lying in hospital, first.

The policeman defending himself, first.

Normal New Zealanders care little about some violent nut-cases rugby credentials. 

Only the rugby fraternity wants a Donald Ineson in their ‘family’.

They are welcome to him.

 

Note: If you check out previous posts from the middle of the year, you’ll see the South Canterbury Rugby ‘family’ is plagued with violence issues, that not unsurprisingly show no sign of being abated given stewardship of the organisation.
