Wallaby players brawl in public, injure taxi driver

Shocking news is coming out of Australia tonight which suggests that 2 members of the Macpherson Intimates Wallabies World Cup squad were involved in a fight in downtown Brisbane overnight. Lote Tuqiri and Matt Dunning were spotted exchanging blows inside the team's hotel, with Dunning apparently running through the hallways yelling "Don't make me run, I am full of chocolate".

Sources reveal that Tuqiri had argued with other players at a nightclub earlier, when they reportedly told him he shouldn't drink any more. It is believed that he was still agitated when the team returned to the hotel. A taxi driver was taken to hospital soon after, with witnesses claiming he was king-hit by a member of the Wallaby squad.

"The driver had jokingly tried to sell Lote some cocaine, after referring to him as Wendell for the entire trip back to the hotel" said one witness who wishes to remain anonymous. Whether this resulted in the punch being thrown is unknown at this time, as is the identity of the person who assaulted him.

Tuqiri reportedly proceeded to his room, which he was sharing with Dunning, only to find that both Toblerones were gone, as well as the Kit Kat and small packet of chips. Insiders say it was then that the giant winger began to chase the front-rower throughout the hotel, landing blows when he could.

Wallaby management deny that any players were involved in the assault on the taxi driver, although they were willing to concede that "Dunning did indeed appear to be full of chocolate"
