"...drinking too much and being an arsehole is part of the job-description for rugger-buggers."

And isn't that a sad commentary on a commercial 'sport'?

Perhaps is just that arsehole drunks need a 'sport' like Rugby to reflect their character.

...and perhaps *I* am just tired of ANY sports figures assuming that they will get a pass on any extreme behavior because they are famous and overpaid.
