Lote might be in trouble too

[travelling_gerry]

The article continued that O'Neill also has confirmed wingers Lote Tuqiri and Drew Mitchell were given a dressing-down by team manager Phil Thomson over a separate incident in Bordeaux the previous week.
They had been drinking at a bar after the pool match against Canada.
The Australian said that because Tuqiri did not breach his curfew or misbehave in any way other than having too much to drink, the incident would not count against him. It claimed Tuqiri had national selector Michael O'Connor to thank for saving his career, after O'Connor allegedly pulled him into line on the night.

Drew looks like a boy who enjoys a good time!

Heard a couple of things over this tournament. I hope he keeps it all in perspective and figures out when enough is enough, if he does....good luck to him!

[GIGS20]

I think they should just let Tuqiri go, he isn't as good as a player as he used to be.

I wouldn't be too concerned about Drew. He's 23 and certainly is the first out on the dance floor but he's not stupid enough to sacrifice his rugby career for a beer...

....but he does need to select his drinking buddies better!!! Maybe Lote was attempting to lure him over to mungo rugby next year!

Drew would look quite fetching in baby blue too. Yes, thats a good idea.

And everybody knows the best way to get a Waratahs contract is by playing for the eels!
