    Rocky Elsom: Renaissance Man - Green & Gold Rugby

    Recently the book Rocky Elsom: Leader of the Wallabies was released. I was having a look at it yesterday, and was struck by a quote on the blurb by the author, Bret Harris: “After covering Rocky′s career as a journalist for eight years I thought I had a fair idea of him, but I realized

    Speaking of renaissance men. I see Anton Oliver is keeping his nose clean at least. A bit of nude modelling the extent of his exploits.

    Haha, I love Pinetree Meads grumpy old man reaction to Antons exploits.

    What he’d make of todays All Blacks with dyed hair and tweeting every five minutes is anyones guess.

    A good article from The Times about Sitiveni Sivivatu, who is now the technical advisor/attack coach at Marlborough RFC in Wiltshire. The online version is paywalled but a UK subscriber may be able to post. It's in the Sunday Star-Times in NZ.

    Have you seen Rocky Elsom recently? If so, the French legal system would like to know where he is.

    The former Walllaby skipper has been fined 100,000 Euros and given a two-year jail sentence for misusing funds when he was Narbonne President.
