Absolutely disgusting

[Ron Manager]

A disgrace, these players are supposed to be role-models. Why can't they behave themselves? You would never find rugby players behaving in this way....oh, hang on....

England rugby stars face NZ probe

New Zealand police are investigating a "serious allegation" against up to four England rugby players after an alleged incident in a hotel room.
It allegedly occurred in a private room at the Hilton Hotel in Auckland early on Sunday morning after England's defeat to New Zealand's All Blacks.
Auckland police have not confirmed the nature of the allegation.
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) confirmed it was fully co-operating with the police over the matter.
Auckland City Criminal Investigation Branch is investigating the alleged incident, which was brought to the attention of police on Sunday evening.
A RFU spokesman said in a statement: "The England rugby team has been informed by Auckland police that an allegation has been made against four members of the England playing squad.
"No formal complaint has been made and we are co-operating with the police and their inquiries.
"In the circumstances we cannot make any other comment."
Auckland police said investigating officers were receiving the "appropriate level of co-operation from the England rugby team management".
The England squad are currently in New Zealand for a two-match series against the All Blacks.

Got to thank the Beeb for the map there. There's no way I'd have known where Auckland was otherwise.

Doesn't beat The Sun's diagram a few years ago, notifying everyone just exactly what the Channel Tunnel was and how it linked us with that barron, unknown wasteland that some call France.

To be fair, a large proportion of the Sun's target demographic wouldn't have known this! ;)

I wonder what up to four players were doing in that room :unsure: and who to............

If rugby players are now getting up to shenanigans in their hotel rooms, then it is indeed a dark day.

:(

Ah, whatever happened to the halcyon days of rugger where drinking yourself unconscious and/or vomiting copiously - and having the occasional fight - was the worst a player ever got up to?

*sigh*

A la recherche des temps perdus...

I think it's disgusting, and it's high time we ended the scourge of rape by banning rugby in all its forms. That should stop this vile crime in its tracks.

And if it doesn't, at least we'll have banned rugby. Everyone's a winner.

Roy Keane was training with the All Blacks, he didn't take Johnny Evans with him did he? :unsure:

I'm concerned that rugby players will be unable to employ the same calibre of lawyer that highly paid football players can afford and actually be found guilty - dragging this countries reputation through the mud while they are at it.

It is always better to be an alleged criminal than an actual criminal.

I thought a lot of Rugby players were top class lawyers ?
Or has that changed since Brian Moores day
