That's more like it.

Christ alight. What a prat. And yet, totally predictable - if you were to tell me that a Lions player was arrested for disorderly behaviour on a night out and gave me three guesses as to who, all three guesses would be Sinckler.

Needs to sort himself out, pronto.

Indeed. And he did the classic i have grown up now interview before the tour so you knew he had not. I think Cipriani and Henson still own the record for these types of interview at 9 each.

I raise you a Zac Guilford. Rocking up to a Raratonga bar naked on a moped and assaulting a pensioner.

If a jobs worth doing, it's worth doing well.

Got a long way to go before reaching the class of Andy Powell's 'Buggygate'!

Good to see Sinckler protecting the amateur ethos of the Lions. That Guilford story makes me smile every time I hear it, notwithstanding the assault.

I too laugh whenever I hear about people afflicted with illness.

you can blame me for that one....I bought it up initially.

So I can't find the idea of a rugby player turning up naked on a moped to a bar funny because someone got their head kicked in? I feel sorry for the bloke and I abhor Guilfords' actions but if you are unable to separate the two then you are more self righteous and sanctimonious than I thought.

I think he may be referring to Guilfords struggle with alcoholism more than his actions. But I'm afraid I still laugh about Powell's golf cart trick, even though I appreciate his battle with depression (having been there).

It is definitely referring to addiction.

Ah, I see. I'll still laugh when I think about. Have to say that when laughing I'll feel a little bit more guilty about the guy who had his head kicked in than the alchoholic. For all his self righteousness I'd suggest Cashead's sympathies lay with the wrong party.

Having been involved in a number of, shall we say, slightly inebriated activities (fortunately not involving violence) I can't help but raise a smile at some events!

Very true. Most conversations when I meet up with my schoolmates revolve around reminiscing about drunken schenanigans.

You don't feel you and your mates at the Bedford C of E Primary School had problems getting pissed all the time at 7 and 8 years old?

The drinking wasn't really a problem. It was driving round town naked on mopeds that caused the issues.

Very true. The quality of the rugby players is not the only similarity between NZ and Bedford.
