@paekakboyz i miss kids flooding the field at the full time whistle.
When we moved to Brisbane we could flood the field at Ballymore but Lang Park was a massive no no. Funny enough how all the kids could respect that, despite the irresistible siren sound of having their idols metres away. But shit, rules are made to be broken right. Blame security.

@rancid-schnitzel ha ha I'd be happy if that meant I was rich fucker!! but beyond that it's an agree to disagree scenario for sure

@rancid-schnitzel the zero tolerance/throw the book at em take, combined with the spoiled brat comment, comes across as pretty punitive to me. Yep, running on-field isn't on anymore and you should expect to cop fines or whatever the punishment is these days. But in the main that's about player safety and also not having dickheads disrupt a game while it's still going. IMO there is scope for some flexibility in what happened to the kid given it was during the victory lap after the game.
I don't necessarily see a kid from a well off (or super well off) family being any more or less resistant to a rush of blood to the head at a massive sporting event where their idols are literally a few metres away. Doesn't mean he isn't an entitled brat but I'm ok with cutting him some slack.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. I think him being an entitled brat born with a silver enema up his arse had a massive bearing on it. You see any other kids doing it? Would you be happy if your kids did it? He wasn’t mentally disabled. He knew full well what he was doing was wrong but didn’t give a shit about the consequences. No sympathy here.

A line from a Few Good Men comes to mind.
Seriously, are you related to this kid or something? -

I used to follow SBW on Instagram when I was using that platform and I noticed that this kid was commenting on SBW's page. I clicked on his profile and saw that he's still in touch with SBW, and even visited the ABs in Japan during the 2019 RWC. Great reward for being an entitled little douche who had no regard for the rules
-
as someone who never, ever broke the rules, did I mention ever, I find it ludicrous to think a kid can get away with such illegal activity in this day and age.
Whatever you think of SBW, vast majority of the time, he is/was a marketers dream, he defused that situation and turned it to his, NZR and rugbys advantage.

Especially when you consider that in the era he played there were 5/6 midfielders as good or better than him

@taniwharugby said in SBW tribute from that kid:
@mn5 I call BS, name them? Bearing on mind he covered 12/13 and also was capped on the wing...
Nonu, Smith ( absolute no brainers both always selected ahead of him ) but also Goodhue, ALB and Crotty got picked instead of him at various times. So yeah, can’t think of six but definitely five.....

You said yourself if he was a racehorse he’d be shot after the Lions test.

Random internet poster who claims not to watch rugby claims to be able to rate All Black midfield players from the last 15 years.
Frankly IMO SWB was the piece we were missing at 12 in the 19 RWC.
Also, whoever called the kid and entitled douche was pretty much spot on.

Bit of a silly thread. Not the kids fault he was born into wealth. Doesn’t deserve any abuse for being a kid who was lucky.

He’s a kid who got excited seeing one of his heroes up close!! The horror of an excited kid breaking the rules.
Honestly, some of the comments on here are disgusting. So many personal shots at a kid based on huge assumptions made because of the way he speaks. And in a lot of cases, from the same people that will argue til blue in the face that a criticism of a non white person doesn't automatically mean racism.
It's exactly the same argument. Give the kid a break. If you have criticism of the situation, blame his guardians at the match, security, or SBW. But not the kid.

You what? Who says it's automatically racist?
I'm confused. Are we or are we not allowed to comment on a 14 year olds behaviour in a regulated social setting?
14 years old and we have to refer to his behaviour as though he's 4 years old or mentally incapable of controlling his behaviour in a social setting?
Bizarre
