Edit:
Seems he was involved in an "incident" in Cardiff:

Wouldn't say he would be the easiest man in the world to subdue :/

Depends how many Shandys he's had, I've seen some very big lads get put down by a gentle breeze in the early hours of the morning :lol:

 

[lucky number 7]

Yeah to make matters worse , look at the god dammed pink handcuffs they used on him...insult to injury or what

My bet is he'd had more than a few drinks, and someone started singing Duffy songs at him lol.

Big player...big call...pink handcuffs...nice...

 

[LPsoldier ZA]

Actually looks like a pink armband...like you get at clubs?

 

[lucky number 7]

Yeah one of the VIP ones I am expecting...although its nicer to think they are pink handcuffs..

I would be surprised if the 'indefinite' ban runs all the way to the world cup... Hopefully they are just banning him to make an example and stop all the others from going out and getting drunk during world cup warm ups!

The police said the subdued him but didnt arrest him.

No arrest, no crime, unless there is clear evidence of anti-social behaviour they will cancel the ban.

BBC article has been updated with the WRU press release
The general gist of it being

"We have suspended Mike Phillips on the clear evidence of a level of behaviour we regard as unacceptable."It is clear there has been a breach of our disciplinary standards."

Lloyd Williams has been called in to the squad to replace him

hahahahaha funny stuff. Saw him drive past me smugly in cardiff on monday in a huge Land Rover or whatever it was.... Probably pushing his weight around a little too much in town after a few shandies. The one thing that really annoys me about welsh rugby guys, as soon as they've played in the millenium stadium, they automatically turn into stuck up muppets (some at least). Really annoying to be in the same club as them sometimes..... ah well if he's done wrong, then he deserve what he gets.
Also I wonder if he begging the police for "mercy" lolz

 

[LPsoldier ZA]

Maybe it's unacceptable to wear a pink armband as a Welsh rugby player?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Also I wonder if he begging the police for "mercy" lolz

Get out.



:lol:

 

[Draggs]

To be honest, I think we'd be better off with Lloyd Williams than Phillips.
Williams looked surprisingly comfortable in the Barbarians match and could easily be our next scrumhalf.

 

[Ozzay]

Hopefully this will see the end of Phillips as Wales starting 9!!

 

[DuncTheDoodle]

And good riddance. We're now dangerously close to having our four best Scrum-Halves in the squad. (I'd personally have Rhys Webb above Llyod Williams, but it's not that big a difference, to be honest, both are good, young players. Williams is probably slightly quicker, so it'll be nice to see.)

 

[TVH11]

Get out.



:lol:

I knew you'd like that one I could carry on, but i shall resist and bask in my glory
Hopefully this will allow wales to go back to the "old fashioned" scrum halves - as in ones that can pass

 

[Draggs]

Peel, Rees, Knoyle to NZ?
Makes life easier for Gatland.
