We have two treads going on at the moment, and it's difficult to separate the political aspects of this from the sport.

Nice you outed yourself.

I bloody near peed me pants when I saw this splendid Page One report today at Planet Rugby!
Click here and you will do the same - I'll warrant Your Raelene reckoned it would be a walk in the park at St Leonards - waddle in announcing an ARU name change, organise a Pink Fete, a Rainbow Fete and a Green Fete and introduce something exceptional - such as free admission for companion animals to Super Rugby matches - then sit back and enjoy the gin and tonic.
Nek minit she discovers Spike Milligan is up above, cackling madly, writing the script for Australian rugby!
For Tolu Latu - he demonstrates why front rowers enjoy a reputation of high intelligence and superior decision making, by realising he's shot, locking himself inside, throwing the car keys in the glove box and settling in for a jolly good sleep.
What does the ARU do? Send in the Integrity Unit MPs to give him a thorough water boarding!

Just in case you are bored with the Folau saga.
The Daily Telegraph in Australia reported that Wallaby hooker Silatolu Latu has been arrested for drink driving.According to reports Latu was found slumped over the wheel of a vehicle not far from Rugby Australia headquarters in Sydney at approximately 04.30 on Thursday morning.
RA released a statement on the matter: “Rugby Australia and New South Wales Rugby Union have been made aware today by the Daily Telegraph of an incident involving Wallabies and Waratahs hooker Tolu Latu.
“Rugby Australia’s Integrity Unit is working with the New South Wales Rugby Union to ascertain all of the facts.”Tongan-born Latu, who has played 12 Tests for Australia, was named on the bench for the Saturday’s Waratahs match with the Reds and took to the field in the 67th minute of the 40-32 Round 14 win in Brisbane.
New South Wales chief executive Andrew Hore said post-match he had no knowledge of the incident until being made aware of the media report and was disappointed considering it followed hard on the heels of the Folau contract termination saga.
“It’s something we’ll obviously talk to Tolu about as we go through the investigation,” Hore said.

@Rancid-Schnitzel although TBF, when you were a kid, there was no social media...cos I bet some players from yesteryear woulda put up some classics (both awesome and incredibly dumb)
Kit Fawcett springs to mind
The 21-year-old found infamy when he claimed the All Blacks hoped to "score more off the field than on" ahead of his sole tour - to South Africa - in 1976. He played two tests and 11 matches but was never selected for New Zealand again, eventually playing out his career overseas from 1979. No word on how successful he was.

Potentially (and stupidly) he probably decided to sleep in the car, but not smart enough to chuck the keys in the boot and kip on the back seat.
@NTA never been comfortable with the asleep in a parked and turned off car equals drunk driving laws.
Seems to me most cases of car sleeping are legitimately undertaken in order to not breach dui laws, which is the end goal innit?. It's got a stench of entrapment about it ( the legislation, that is).

If you're stupid enough to sleep in the front seats, you deserve to get done.
