Aaron Smith Spreads the All Black Kulture all up the toilet wall

For the record what Aaron Smith gets up-to in his own time is his own business. 

He only has to answer to himself and his family for his conduct.  

But this loo-shagging incident wasn’t on his watch. 

He was representing his sport at the time. 

 

In the public domain.

Yet again (starts to yawn, think about grabbing a coffee) All Black management were questioned about this incident before it became more than internet gossip and they did what they normally do: wait and hope it goes away. 

This all took place on September the 18^th after-all.  

 

Half if not all the team knew what went on within minutes.   

Kiwi’s hear ad nauseum about The All Black culture as if it was something to aspire to. 

This team is world-beaters, not because rugby is secondary sport in many countries, but because of this special culture.    

Well Aaron Smith is currently doing a brilliant job of spreading this culture globally.

 

Still, it can't be said that Aaron isn't one not to spread his love.

Is it time to boycott Wellington Rugby's Sponsors?

If the Losi Filipo case disturbs you as much as it does me.

There is an avenue to show your displeasure.

These are Wellington Rugby's Sponsors:

STONEWOOD HOMES
RUTHERFORD & BOND TOYOTA
BLK CLOTHING
TUI BEER
VALENTINES PETONE
THE GREEN MAN
RYDGES HOTELS
RADIO SPORT
SUPERCOLOUR
VODAFONE
MP MUSCLE PHARM
LES MILLS
POWERADE
RYOS
VICTORIA UNIVERSITY
THE DOMINION POST

Wellington Rugby still have the chance to cut this street thug loose. 

Do what they should have done when the case first came to light, Filipo admitted his role.

Till then it's up to the public to make discerning consumer decisions based on what they feel is the right thing to do.

Read what the mothers of Filipo's victims have to say.

"The horrific state of how they were left - they were left for dead,"

"Goodness knows what if the police hadn't intervened - I don't think our children would be alive today."

"The severity of the concussion could have long-term effects. He could easily have the early onset of Alzheimer's, and that kind of thing. This is huge. This isn't just a minor punch." 

I wiped Radio Sport from my pre-sets about an hour ago.

PS: There's going to be a protest outside the next home game on Friday night (30th Sept) Details are on Facebook apparently. I hope they get a decent turn-out.   

The Losi Filipo Case makes me sick

Go on admit it. 

The two tares are firmly established.

Rugby stars and other Joe Bloggs.   

Why dare and highlight something that all N.Zers know is the truth?  

Most Kiwis are happy to sweep this under the carpet as long as it’s not them or their mates/family that’s on the receiving end.   

I’m talking about rugby ‘stars’ like scum-bag Wellington Lions player Losi Filipo.  

It is unquestionable that (a.) High profile rugby players in N.Z are involved in a disproportionate level of criminality versus the same demographic. Just check out the pages of this blog which is by no means the definitive list. (b.) High profile rugby players in N.Z get lighter sentences when they appear in court using the ‘defence’ a conviction would affect a career in rugby.

So even if you plead guilty to: 

·         Assault with intent to injure

·         Two counts of male assaults female

·         Injures with intent to injure

All crimes which carry prison sentences - you’ll likely get discharged without conviction.  

This site is littered with similar cases. 

The Filipo case is no aberration.  

To quote the judge the street thug “(Filipo)Should be able to fulfil his potential” 

Fuck the innocent parties.  

Filipo’s rugby career comes before the justice society, via the Police, sort and deserved.  

In a sad irony one of the innocent victims, Greg Morgan, was a rugby player himself, required 8 months off work after the vicious unprovoked attack.
 

Morgan was left high & dry by Wellington Rugby Union despite the fact he can no longer play contact sport again.

The Wellington Rugby Union instead backed 'their' man, giving him a reference.  

As did the Upper Hutt Major Wayne Guppy!

Guppy and Wellington Rugby Chief Executive Steve Rogers clearly don't 'give a rats' that one of Filipos female victims requires plastic surgery.

Nor does Filipo apparently care.

Other than manufactured apologies.

To quote Stuff:

Hayden Williams, 22, another of Filipo's victims, saw the rugby player about a week after the court case while standing outside a bar in Wellington.

"He walked passed me and I asked him if he was still punching girls," says Williams. "He signalled out to his friends and two of them came over and yelled at me asking for a fight.

"Losi was laughing at me and kept saying he'd been through court. I felt like he was laughing that he'd been through court and got off."

Welcome to the N.Z (In)Justice system.

 

The Police must appeal.

 

Filipo needs to go behind bars. 

 

 

Former Maori & Junior All Black found guilty after SFO investigation

Former Junior & Maori All Black Matene Love pleaded guilty to one charge under Section 4 of the Secret Commissions Act back on September 21 last year. 

The reason why this charge, and his sentencing to six months' home detention, has only just surfaced is his father Sir Ngatata Love is currently up for similar charges.  

Love junior accepting a secret commission from the same developer linked to his old man who is about to stand trial for defrauding the iwi his once was the leader of. 

One presumes Matene no longer runs Maori business programme at Victoria University. 

During the same period of his SFO investigation Love Jnr was the Rugby Development Office at Palmerston North Boys High.   

Rugby Clubs and Schools love (pun intended) to laud the ‘exploits’ of their old-boys. 

I’m more than happy to ‘put up in lights’ Matene Love also has links to: Manawatu, N.Z Maoris, Wanganui and let’s not forget Palmerston North HSOB for good measure.  

They too can be proud.

Homophobic Slurs – A Normal Day in N.Z Rugby

Rugby is possibly the world’s most homophobic sport. 

Most certainly the most homophobic sport in N.Z.   

Little wonder the number of known gay All Blacks sits at zero. 

Little wonder to read reports of homophobic slurs coming out of the mouths of leading players. 

Probably not even newsworthy given it’s the norm in Michael Allardice’s sporting circles. 

 

It's great the mainstream press is giving him stick but in reality it won't change rugby 'kulture' in New Zealand.  

School’s National Championship 1st XV Coach Done for Assault

Robert Simpkins (a.k.a Robert Ngarimu) was a hooker for the Bay of Plenty Steamers NPC at one stage. 

 

Let's not forget North Harbour and The Chiefs for good measure. 

Since his retirement from the sport he’s now turned his hands, as in clenched, to coaching rugby. 

To the highest level you can in N.Z Schoolboys.  

He’s the coach of the current N.Z champs; Rotorua Boys High. 

Well up-till last Friday that was.  

Him and his old-man have just pled guilty to two charges of assault on a child under 14 and one charge of injuring to injure – if the later charge makes sense?  

Far be it for moi to suggest this affair may well make him an even more a suitable candidate to coach rugby in this country.

 

The gory details can be located here.
