His third drinking indiscretion in 18 months after he promised himself and Nz rugby fans he wouldn't get on the booze and instead seek help. The Crusaders management have indicated that his contract will probably be terminated. How many chances do you give a professional rugby player who vowed twice before not to touch the drink ? Give him the boot and let some Japanese or UK rugby club have him --- hes a poor role model who cant be trusted on what he says.His third drinking indiscretion in 18 months after he promised himself and Nz rugby fans he wouldn't get on the booze and instead seek help.

To be honest, I don't think Zac will ever be seen in an All Black jersey again. However, I think he has the potential to still become an amazing player which he once was, like for the Crusaders in 2011. Yes, he has an alcohol problem and that is fairly evident, but I don't think that he has much of a future with the NZRU. I agree with you and think he would be better off going to France or Japan where he would make five times the money, and he wouldn't have as much pressure on his shoulders.
