Exclusive: Tuqiri and Dunning assigned chaperone

Emperor John O'Neill is not a man to be trifled with. So when he slapped a curfew and alcohol ban on 17-yeard olds Lote Tuqiri and Matt Dunning, they were left with no doubts about the consequences should they step out of line.

However Hayman's Beard can reveal today that the ARU have taken a further step, and assigned the dynamic duo a full-time chaperone.
Supernanny Jo Frost has signed with the ARU to supervise Tuqiri and Dunning until the end of the World Cup. Whilst no official comment was made regarding the signing, ARU insiders said that they expect Supernanny to be a key figure in keeping the two miscreants in line.

"There's little doubt that Supernanny has had an immediate impact. Twice already she's had Dunning on the naughty step at training for spitting, and Tuqiri has had to endure several "that is not acceptable behaviour" episodes after he refused to give the ball to the other players"

Neither Dunning nor Tuqiri were speaking about having Supernanny assigned to chaperone them day and night. When approached by reporters after a closed training session in Sydney, both players put their hands on their ears and ran off to the team bus screaming "la la la la la la".
Nanny Frost followed them and could be seen admonishing them on the bus shortly after.

We'll be following this story throughout the World Cup, as no doubt the biggest impact for the 2 players will be felt when they reach France, and they realise what a midnight curfew and booze-ban does to their social lives.
