[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 819272, member: 38640"] I don't understand why anyone reacts so badly to this. The only person this really should outrage is Smith's partner, and maybe the NZRU should slap him on the wrist for indiscretion in AB uniform. Otherwise it's no body elses damn business. What has got me is the number of feminist outlets who claim this incident is a sordid part of rugby culture - and yet if it was a female athlete they would accuse the media of 'slut shaming'. Bunch of hypocrites. To me the idea that sports people need to act to a higher standard than others because they are role models, is laughable. [/QUOTE]
