Mafi vs timani

[Which Tyler]

I'd seen the pics of Timani's face; but thought it was normal enough... disagreement between team-mates gone too far (Fearns on Henson, Lewsey on Cipriani, nay number of various training grounds).
If this report is true, then F*** me; it's way, way beyond that...

Australian rugby player Lopeti Timani has told the Sydney Morning Herald he was repeatedly bashed and bundled into a car in a vicious attack at the hands of Melbourne Rebels teammate and childhood friend Amanaki Mafi in New Zealand a week ago.

Timani claims he endured four hours of terror in South Dunedin after Mafi set upon the towering former Wallaby over a swear word Timani used in front of Mafi's sister, who was present at the time.

Timani, 27, claims he fled in fear of his life, was hunted down and bashed again in a nearby park, then dragged into a car and driven around town, before eventually fleeing at traffic lights and hiding in a bush.

If true - jail time will surely be in Amanaki's near future - no RWC on home territory for him then

Wow. Hard to really put that all together.

Mafi left Bath under a bit of a cloud - apparently removing people from the physio's diary so he could jump the queue and then having thunderous arguments when caught. Not quite in the same league as this, but similar trend of mental behaviour.
