Once again New Zealand Rugby is having to deal with a case of players behaving badly.
The prized Ranfurly Shield is in bits, and a player from the winning Hawke's Bay Magpies has been charged with driving with excess breath alcohol, after crashing through a fence early on Sunday morning.
Then there is the suspicious looking white powder and a rolled-up banknote photographed on the broken shield.
The man who helped refurbish the shield, and who'll now repair it, James Dwan, is appalled by the damage, and says players have disrespected a treasured trophy. New Zealand Rugby has confirmed it is investigating reports of drug use at the Hawke's Bay Magpie's post-match celebrations.
New Zealand Rugby general manager community rugby Steve Lancaster spoke to Corin Dann.
