As an old mate of mine used to say, nice to see young people enjoying themselves!

Wow, that is quite serious.
I'm sure there will be phone footage of it lurking somewhere.

4:30PM seems a tad early to be plastered.

As has been said elsewhere, you hope it's just him being a drunken dickhead and not early signs of CTE or similar.
As has also been said elsewhere, the police should have passed him a rugby ball and he'd have dropped it and fallen over.

He really is as thick as mince!
I wonder where a criminal record of violence against the police will leave him in regards to work permits for France or Japan?

Was there something with him before being absolutely plastered? Might have been Dublin after an international?
Various folks said he didn't drink when the evidence suggested that he definitely did.

I understood he was teetotal until his mid-twenties, and although I'd almost joke he's making up for lost time I think it means he's not really learnt to control it given he started drinking in what is ultimately a very boozy environment. It doesn't encourage moderation.

It's not Like Montpellier is very regarding for that matter (he may be playing in Pro D2 next year )

Or, these days, send in a medium sized centre in to brimg him down...

That was my first thought
He has form for being a non-drunken dickhead on the pitch. No reason to believe he'd be less dickish while on the piss.

I think it was a The Good, The Bad and The Rugby interview he did a while back where he said he didn't drink, then started, then went back to not drinking because of how he was with it.
Clearly that hasn't stuck.

Took the first taser like a champ, superb
I watch far too many police police videos, guessing one of the leads didn't impact his body. But wonder if, on the second attempt, he did a dead weight flop like some do? That's a big body to go...

That looks like his usual ruck-clearing technique anyway.

Iirc Alex Goode was claiming that Billy was teetotal despite the photos of him coming out of a club in the morning clearly pissed as a newt. All very weird.

Family are very religious aren't they ? The "Teetotal" stuff might be for parental consumption more than anything else.

"Lunged at" ?
Flaps a T shirt in the general direction.
That Cop will need at least a month off, therapy and 100k compensation.
