I woke up to the news today that All Black Aaron Smith has been sent home from South Africa in disgrace.
He isn't the first rugby player to be sent home and I'm guessing he won't be the last but what has got the media and the great unwashed through-out our fair land up in arms is that it involved, as an old shearing mate of mine used to delicately put it, a bit of the old "how's your father" which for reasons I never quite understood, meant sex.
Apparently he had sex in a public toilet with a women who wasn't his partner and he was travelling with the national team at the time and he got caught because a couple recorded it and then told the media.
I have to confess that I feel a little at odds with the general sentiment towards Aaron at the moment, I actually have very little opinion on what he did at all.
If he decides to do something behind a locked door in a toilet then I am unsure that it is indeed public and I'm even more unsure if it is mine or anyone else's business to be brutally frank.
