Andrew Norman tells us why James O\u2019Connor is a bad boy.<\/em><\/p>\n

It seems young James O\u2019Connor really struggles to learn a lesson.<\/p>\n

The 23-year old Wallaby is absolutely no stranger to controversy, and has ended up in the tabloids for all the wrong reasons yet again.<\/p>\n

According to a New Zealand based website, stuff.co.nz, O\u2019Connor was not permitted to get on his scheduled flight back to Melbourne from Perth, after the Wallabies\u2019 game against Argentina on Sunday.<\/p>\n

According to reports, O\u2019Connor was escorted out of the flight terminal by Australian Federal Police officers.<\/p>\n

Now, the reason naughty boy James was sent packing? He was allegedly intoxicated \u2013 yes, he was hammered. It seems that the fit rugby player could not handle his drink very well or over did it just a tad.<\/p>\n

However, to be escorted from an airport terminal and not being allowed to get on your airplane, you must be (way) more than a little bit tipsy.<\/p>\n

The AFP released a statement saying: \u201cOfficers spoke to a 23-year-old man at Perth International Airport in the early hours of the 15th of September (Sunday).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is alleged the man was intoxicated. The airline the man was booked to travel with made a decision not to allow him to board the aircraft. The AFP subsequently escorted the man from the terminal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Oops. That is not ideal.<\/p>\n

However, this is not the first time O\u2019Connor has been in trouble<\/a>. The Melbourne Rebels\u2019 Super Rugby squad subsequently dumped the young rugby player from their squad as well as picking up some disciplinary issues from the Wallabies\u2019 coach, Robbie Dean.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll have to see if O\u2019Connors behaviour will be dealt with before the Wallabies take on our Boks at Newlands on September 28.<\/p>\n

Maybe you should start shaping up, James \u2013 no one likes a bad ass. \u2013 Andrew Norman<\/a><\/p>\n
