The Drinks are on........the Losers

Puts our $3K bar tab at the Wallaby Bar last year to shame really.....

Fresh allegations on the Doug Howlett rampage suggest he and several other All Blacks ran up a food and bar tab of more than $28,000 at their London hotel in the aftermath of New Zealand's World Cup exit.
Howlett has admitted alcohol was involved in the incidents that saw damage to two vehicles in the carpark of the Heathrow Hilton hotel.
He has confessed to damaging the cars.
London's Telegraph newspaper reported that there was a massive bar bill involved.
One hotel staff member, who refused to be named, told the newspaper: "There were about five to seven players drinking in the bar. They looked as if they were pretty down in the dumps after they lost and they ran up a 12,500-pound bar bill over several hours.
"It wasn't just them, it was other members of the squad as well and it included food.
"They were behaving themselves while they were in the bar, but then for some reason, a couple of them decided to go outside and that was where it all kicked off.
"I heard they were bouncing up and down on several cars parked just outside the hotel and that was when we phoned the police."
Howlett was arrested and released on bail. He must report back to British police later this month and could be charged with causing criminal damage.
He is staying in Europe for two weeks and took the unusual step of issuing a video apology overnight.
He admitted in the video that he had been drinking.
Howlett said: "I would like to say I'm sorry for what has happened and I'm embarrassed that the events of one evening have led to me being in a situation that was a little bit of tom foolery that has caused me to be here.
"I'm working with the police at the moment to contact owners and fix what I have done wrong. There was drink involved - it's not an excuse. There was no intent to cause anybody or anything any harm whatsoever."
All Blacks manager Darren Shand said they were investigating, adding: "It is a serious matter and we are concerned that something of this nature has occurred at what is already a disappointing time for the team and for our supporters."
Shand was to front the media in Christchurch at noon today and will surely be grilled over this messy wash-up to the failed campaign.
Howlett's actions will come as a major embarrassment to the All Blacks after they emphasised yesterday that they were regarded as fantastic role models around the world for New Zealanders.
