A disability advocate is dismayed that a prominent rugby player would treat disabled toilets with such little respect. "Clearly Aaron is bitterly disappointed in his behaviour and feels he has let the team down but just as importantly he feels bitterly disappointed in letting his family and his partner down," All Blacks coach Steve Hansen said today. Paula Booth, analyst at Disabled Persons Assembly NZ (DPA), said while she wasn't overly surprised a disabled toilet had been used like that, she was surprised and "disappointed" that a famous New Zealander had chosen to act that way. The incident occurred after the All Blacks' 41-13 victory in Christchurch on September 17. All Blacks management were only made aware of the incident this week once they arrived in South Africa for their final Rugby Championship test.
