All Blacks star Cory Jane went on a drinking binge and lit up a cigarette inside a packed Auckland bar - less than 72 hours before playing in today's Rugby World Cup quarter-final.
HE DIDN'T, DID HE????
We used to rail against nanny state.
Now we have nanny media.
The "married father of three" reportedly "lit a cigarette in the bar - breaking the Smoke-free Environments Act 1990 banning smoking in pubs, in force since 2004......A top sports medical expert said drinking alcohol so close to a test match could reduce the player's performance and increase the risk of injury......a single cigarette would reduce a player's lung capacity but it would also introduce carbon monoxide and nicotine to the player's blood."
This is a joke. Surely.

Unfortunately is not a joke, but a sad reflection of how much nanny-statism has infected the country: the corpse is rotting.
Can't see the link to nanny state. But he can forget ever calling himself a professional athlete behaving like that.
He played so well I believe Henry is going to make it compulsory that all the team must all enjoy themselves? Yer Right!
Anonymous, get a life and a name.
Plenty of pro sportsmen drink and smoke and kick their competitors arse's regularly....its a lot of tosh.
