 * I am not restoring this article, even as a draft for editing, for two reasons:
 * I do not think he meets Wikipedia's WP:Notability test for inclusion as a rugby player. See WikiProject Rugby union/Notability.
 * Even if he does, the whole tone of what you wrote was completely unsuitable for a serious encyclopedia. Read WP:Biographies of living persons which includes:
 * "'Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.'"
