    @Bovidae

    Is that the one who shouldn't be there in the first place?

    @gt12 We'll never know who else was there.

    The Highlanders have apologised after seven of their players were involved in drunken night out in Queenstown last weekend, but none of the group will be stood down from the game against the Blues in Dunedin on Sunday.
    
    “From our investigation, we can confirm that no damage at the apartments was caused by any Highlanders player,” CEO Roger Clark said.
    
     “We can also confirm that no Highlanders player is facing any action from the police.
    
    “Having said that, we’re extremely disappointed that some of our players’ antisocial behaviour forced guests to endure a disturbed night.
    
    “As a club we apologise unreservedly to those guests involved.”
    
    The Highlanders have not revealed the identity of the players involved, describing it as an employment issue”, but say they will face internal sanctions.
    
    The Highlanders also confirmed to Stuff that Josh Ioane, Teariki Ben-Nicholas and Ayden Johnstone were not among the seven players who partied throughout the night.
    
    Ioane had posted a picture on social media of the trio with a group of friends in Queenstown on Saturday, but the Highlanders’ investigation revealed they had all left town before the evening spiralled out of control.

    @Stargazer The Highlanders are not the first and won't be the last professional Rugby team to go on the booze in Queenstown. At least there was no Dwarf-Throwing.

    So seven rugby players try to stimulate the struggling local economy by injecting some much needed revenue into local establishments and they get painted as bad guys. Typical fake news media.

    So I was out in Qtn one night a number of years ago, midweek, and several of the Highlanders of the time were out and getting stuck in. But when it was starting to get messy, Jamie Mackintosh took them away. Like any situation like that, a group needs senior management be they players or actual managers in a business sense, who can see when enough is enough and control things. I bet they didn't have that person who could keep a lid on it. And if they did, they need their fucking ass kicked.

    it was Aaron Smith who was supposed to be in charge. But he went to the toilet, and took too long to come back

    @canefan I guess I'll not be too demanding and settle for just Liz...

    After the first 5 minutes of the sandwich you could just sit back and watch

    Steady on. It's not a fucking marathon.

    @Kiwiwomble would have much preferred they gambled on someone who at least had a chance to show something.

    Everyone knew it was a shit signing, everyone pointed and laughed... except those in charge at the Highlanders.

    Heck even getting a loan of Jonah Lowe would have been better.
