Nick Ashton won't be going on that trip after all.

Danny Care appreciates the joke

'He acknowledged he had been stupid for drinking and driving but said it was hypocritical for the alcohol producers to exclude him when the odds of winning the competition increased the more beer he bought. '

it's a fair point well made

Well played

Get a taxi sucker, good job. Not hypocritical, just not endorsing drinking and driving.

It was just the Twickenham match AWOP so the OP title should be Ashton to miss NZ's Twickenham match after drink drive conviction.

You'd be gutted but his argument should've been I got drunk on a rival beer and it made me do something rash and stupid and if I'd only drunk Lion then I wouldn't be in this situation. Lions = Pride. Lion = Beer of the Proud.

I realy dont think they should of asked him if he had any convictions ( AFTER) he won the prize.

No what they should of done in my opinion is put it in the conditions (BEFORE) any one enterd the compition....Atleast that way they would of known beofore the put pen to paper that if he won he would not be accepted as winner....Because of the rules.

I figure out that if he can't make it to Twickenham then he won't make the others either Kia.

To be fair its not like hes missing much, we all know they are going to win already

So Ashton to miss Lions tour, 6N games...

Be careful AWOP. If you give them an inch they take a mile.

I susect he will miss the entire NH season, yes.
