Aussie duo given World Cup curfew
Australia internationals Lote Tuqiri and Matt Dunning have been hit with a midnight curfew for the World Cup after attending a disciplinary hearing today.
The duo were questioned by Brisbane police on Friday in relation to an assault which left a taxi driver in a critical condition in hospital.
Australian Rugby Union chief John O‘Neill said: “The ARU has made it abundantly clear to both players how disappointed we are that they put themselves in harm’s way and that the warning they have been issued should not be taken lightly.”
While an alcohol ban has not been imposed for the tournament which begins in France next month, O’Neill made it clear to Tuqiri and Dunning that good judgement and discretion should be imposed while drinking.
