Just the other day, Wales and Lions coach Warren Gatland proclaimed Aaron Smith as the best rugby player in the world. Not long after, in the disabled loo at Christchurch airport, Smith showed he was also a different kind of player. Others blame the media and even the irritated couple waiting for the loo who noticed the activity and recorded it. Sex and touring sportspeople are inextricably linked. Rugby has come a long way from the bad old days when boys were boys and women were chattels.
