[QUOTE="Gavin, post: 819167, member: 13247"] I understand what you are saying but Smith is a public figure and his personal life has been well documented. So many Kiwis have taken great pleasure is talking about how Australia doesn't have a good team environment and have used examples of James O'Connor et al. Now O'Connor's contract was terminated because of an episode in an airport when he had a bit too much to drink. I think this Smith episode is worse for him being an idol of young people in NZ. All Blacks are put on a pedestal, rightly or wrongly, and they must realise that. The dishonesty which are apparent in Smith's actions are unbelievable, when you consider his family and current partner, not to mention he was still in his All Black uniform (?). No real double standards I see. [/QUOTE]
