Pissy News: Wet Rugby Player Escapes Disciplining

Here's a bizarre news story that went viral in 2012 about a Rugby player wetting himself on the field to keep players away from him.  Excerpt:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 "The Vikings Rugby club sent a letter to the IDRU this week requesting action be taken against a winger from rival club Avondale after suspicions he relieved himself either before or during their game last weekend.

The letter was accompanied by a photograph - subsequently leaked to The Daily Telegraph - which purports to show an incriminating stain on the player's shorts (see above).

"It is either evidence that the player has urinated in his shorts immediately prior to the commencement of the game, or has applied some liquid to that area of his shorts so as to provide the same inference," Vikings president Mark McDonald wrote.

"Either way, such conduct is contrary to the spirit of the game and in contravention of items 8 and 9 of the IDRU Code of Conduct."

More rugby wetting

I don't know much about Rugby, being an American and all.  Isn't it a team sport?  Would that mean this is some kind of "play" he's running with the full knowledge of his teammates?  I can hear it in the huddle now:  "Okay, Smyth.  When we snap the ball to you, I want you to launch immediately into a Gold 33d.  No running, no passing.  Just run 33d like we practiced, okay?  Go fight WIN!"

This is a very weird and interesting case because how do you stop someone from wetting their own pants outdoors?  How can they be certain he's doing it on purpose, and if he is that's honestly kind of genius.  Maybe the other players should follow suit instead of playing a gory contact sport sans helmets.  I'm sure their brains would thank them.  It never ceases to amaze me how a little pee can cause even the toughest men to freak tf out.  I'm sure they routinely get covered in each other's sweat, snot & blood, but God forbid you touch some water that's passed through their kidneys!  

Oh, and the guy had been accused of doing the same thing the previous year.  Apparently he beat the "charges" by saying both incidents were the result of spilling water on his shorts.  Okay, buddy.  He's been spotted in videos literally pissing himself on the field buuuuut... unfortunate spill.  I can almost hear the Avondale team laughing from the locker room as I hit 'publish'.

He definitely was/is doing this on purpose.  Anyone have any updates to the story?  Particularly interviews on his mindset/reasoning?  I find this more hilarious than sexy but either way I'm intrigued.
