    sorry can't recall where I heard this over the weekend but (poss TV3) it mentioned that the guys in question were single without wives or girlfriends and that disquiet amongst the remaining players was surfacing as they wanted their names cleared for the benefit of family etc.

    The English Rugby Union has said they will name the four players involved so to clear the names of those who were not.

    Not all the British scribes are scathing of the girl:

    "If the mildest allegations are true, the actions reveal something seriously amiss in the squad, its attitude, its hierarchy and the way the players are treated,"

    And that was Stephen Jones

    Football hooligans, anyone?

    It's always tough on the hooligans when your team isn't in the tournament </nastiness>

    In fact the more I think about it what a fucking sick thing to say. No wonder the girl doesn't to come forward with a formal complaint can you imagine the shit she'd have to put up with in court?

    An English rugby official says a rape allegation against four players was "designed to destabilise" the tour - and suggests Kiwis' bitterness at their early exit from the Rugby World Cup might also be a relevant factor.

    I saw this article this morning too and thought "stay classy England". Even if the NZRU were the most depraved organisation on the planet and set-up this whole rape allegation or if the police handled it differently what would be their motivation?

    Last time I looked the teams that knocked out of the World Cup have been France, Australia, France, South Africa, and Australia why would we care about England in regard to the World Cup?

    The English didn't put up much of a fight in Auckland why would we need dirty tactics to beat them? In fact we just trounced them.

    Stevens is the prop who got completely worked over by Tialata of all people; particularly in Auckland.

    Heh heh, thanks. I actually knew who he was.

    What I meant was: is he a fevered genius or a complete arsehole? :)

    What I can say is that when you come to play rugby in New Zealand you are not just playing the All Blacks, you are taking on the whole nation. Everyone is against you. (italics added)

    So the girls were in on the whole thing? Brilliant deduction!

    Only a fevered genius, or possibly a complete arsehole, could've thought that one up. Which one is Matt Stevens?

    it's not even going to be risk-taking for good sex.

    Amen. My first drunk sex experience ended up with way too much vomit, but that's a story for another time. (Note: during sex any vomit is too much)

    Although the girl who sold her story said she had the best sex of her life.

    In fact, I questioned what the hell Graham Henry was thinking when it appeared that he was doing this.

    I forgot to ask about this, when did it happen because the only coach I heard speak on the matter was Steve Hanson. quite early on he said (to the effect of) "players need to seriously consider the situations they put themselves in".

    Can we accept that women quite properly leap to the aid of their sisters and men to defend their brothers.

    Nope, in another high profile rape case in the States (the details of which escape me now), women tended to believe the accused (men), while men tended to believe the accuser (woman).

    wow I wrote that badly.
