This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Not the game of rugby itself , I enjoy it
But in today's Wales on Sunday ex player Lee Byrne gives an account of a night out with Mike Powell and Gavin Henson in Cardiff , they were all pissed acting like idiots , Mike Powell is put in the back of a police van , Gavin Henson throws a pool ball at the drinks optics behind the bar , smashing a bottle , several bystanders film the episode , the police turn up ......and tell the members of the public to delete the footage !!
For f sake that's criminal damage , if that was a football fan south Wales police would cuff him and charge him
Byrne goes onto describe many other anti social drunken nights out in Bridgend and Cardiff with senior Welsh players
The double standards we football fans have to put up with is a disgrace , Henson could have taken someone's eye out ......yet the police intervene and do nothing !!
Byrne is signing his new warts and all book at various locations around south Wales in November , I think I will give it a miss

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Sludge. Mike Powell the cricketer? Or is it Andy Powell rugby player?
Agree with you. It’s criminal damage and irrespective of whether you are a football supporter as a member of the public you would be charged by the Police

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Andy Powell the rugby player.
Byrne in the 1st part was whinging about his treatment by Howley.
Then you see this bragging about the high jinx and you realise Howley was right.

Yep agreed. Both Byrne and Henson would have won a lot more caps if they had been more grounded.

It's a disgrace

Yeah Phillips was a lad too. Under Gatland the drinking culture has been knocked on the head for now.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Sounds like Byrne is making these revelations by trying to make a few bob via publishing a book. If money-grabbing isn't the intent then why not publish it over the internet through a free blog site?

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Id rather read a Cass Pennant classic than Byrnes effort.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
The Tafia celebrate it. Welsh media outlets revel in incidents such as the golf buggy one (people’s lives put at risk) and wax lyrical on scrum 5 over stories of booze fuelled ABH.
Dull. As. F**k.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
All these rugby players with "off the pitch problems".:shrug:
It's mainly because they're all as thick as sh1t!!
-
Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
So they lacked the skill of the new Zealander and lacked the dedication and control to be physically the best? Wonderful players weren't they?
Based on this it seems right for Byrne to be dropped and send a message to the others.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Saw them all one night and they were acting like twats, Powell was rugby tackling people outside the Walkabout.
In fairness though you won’t see many better role models then sam warburton. A real class act on and off the pitch, likewise Jamie Roberts.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Well, Warburton did want to play football, didn't he? Had to settle for egg chasing due to not being good enough.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
Neil Jenkins was a good bloke , a couple of years back the Welsh squad were on the piss in one bar and it was split into two , in our section we were watching city away at Leeds when we beat them away four nil a couple of years back , anyway he had no interest in pissing it up with the Welsh team he was going potty with us as we watched us smash Leeds , people say he is a united fan but he was cheering on Cardiff big time that night, shook everybody's hands

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
There's a great story about Andy Powell and a friend of his battering a bunch of QPR fans in a West London pub a few years ago. Rugby players from other countries always seem so intelligent this current Welsh lot bar a few notable exceptions sounds painfully stupid.

There has never been a lot going on upstairs with most rugby players in Wales with as you say the odd exception
Gavin Henson is dull as a brush and often looked for a fight as did mike Phillips , Phillips got a pasting outside Jackson's by one of the bluebirds finest a few years back

Yep.
Local welsh rugby tours and initiations sound like something from a gay porno. The stories I've heard....it is like, ok you can be close friends and be men, but jesus christ!.

He's a great bloke, occasionally you'll see him and his equally great family in the Deri. Always happy to sign something, take a selfie or just generally be nice to people. Likes his Juboraj curry too. Top bloke

Henson gets a bad press but his anti racism work often gets overlooked.

High jinx.
One rule for the ebbgy-ists. Another for everyone else, especially football fans.
Utterly pathetic.

It was the other way round mate. Powell got knocked out and bottled by qpr fans after giving it the big one to them, his big rugby playing mate shit himself and wanted no part of it.

Re: This is what annoys me about Welsh rugby
That other idiot Mike Phillips was stripped to the waist challenging everyone in the queue outside a club on mill lane to fight him, unfortunately for him one of the soul crew's finest from Butetown was in the queue and immediately obliged Phillips and put the tw*t to sleep with one punch.

My understanding of the story is that Powell and his pal started getting lippy to the QPR fans and knocked a few of them out before taking a pasting then they were seeing running down the road bloodied pissing themselves laughing.
