Tom James and Ceri Sweeney arrested after trouble in Cardiff post England match

What a stupid thing to do. Tom James and Ceri Sweeney are in the form of their lives and this is the last thing Wales need with 2 massive games to go. Tom James is probably if not our most important player and I refer to his form in Twickenham 2010 as a highlight of how good is actually is...

The BBC headline of 'Rugby players in assault arrest' scared the crap out of me. I was worried that they'd gone back to their old ways. Thank goodness it's only those two. Stupid behaviour.

Before you pass judgement are you in possession of all the facts ?

Is there a slight possibility that some drunken louts fancied their chances and these players may have had no option but to defend themselves.

Wait and see what comes of it.

I really can't understand pro players being out on the lash.

save it until your 35

At least it wasnt Henson for a change, maybe he is leaning. James will never get another cap now anyway given his walkouts and tantrums but this kills any hope he may have had. Sweeney should have known better than to get involved.

Had to chuckle at your typo Tycroes.

Not the first time these 2 have been in trouble, or at least Sweeney has had his fair share.

the blues might not carry these players if this what they do to the brand

Sadly I had to look at that sentence about five times after you pointed it out before spotting it

It does look as if Gav is starting to knuckle down and earn his place at the blues, he has a great chance espescially with Lualala leaving. I maintain a fit on form Henson is good for welsh rugby.

This sort of thing always happens after a game like saturday. High spirits, celabrating the win, if your team won.

Drowning your sorrows when your team loses.

The deamon drink.

Drinking and fighting, but these two should no better.

Henson isn't being offered a contract for next season - the Blues can't afford it.

I think the players were looking for a McDonald's with Mike Phillips.

Thank god this sort of thing never happens in Ireland
