Howlett arrested
 

Rumor going around the office is that there was a brawl outside a hotel last night and Dougie was arrested. I'm taking it with a big grain of salt... but curious if true how that would effect his plans to move to Ireland. I know most of the ABs arrived at Auck this afternoon, so story looking less likely by the second...

Confirmed just now. Damage to cars apparently.

one of the guys at work was staying in the same hotel as the ABs after the France thing, and he reckons it wasnt just Howlett doing this sort of thing. Several of them were apparently up to no good that night hehe :)

Genious.

Happens to the best of us.

No... it doesn't.

:( What a KNOB, he's 29 and acting like one of those kids off police 10-7.

are you sure he was jumping on the cars?
...maybe he was trying to put back the choke

nm.

fucking

lol

Wow, Douggie cracks in a big way... feel kinda sorry for the guy :/

fucking awesome

All that pent-up rage since he didn't get a chance to choke it like the rest of them.

Makes me think maybe something happened before the quarter final for him to get left out in the first place, since it was a pretty weird decision.

It was a little bit of tomofoolery
 

again, fucking awesome.

I bet he felt like shit when he found out afterwards the support the rest of the team got when they got home, and he had acted like a dick.

30k at the bar on cristal, i'd hardly be worried about what some ppl think back home, more regreting picking up the tab.

:/ poor Doug

His head must be a mess

Would a UK criminal conviction affect his ability to travel internationally?

Well, he'd probably get into Aussie Ok...

Which would make a northern-hemisphere-based rugby contract hard to fulfil...
