Cowan in trouble


The All Blacks have also found themselves involved in an alchohol related incident with one of their team members.

New Zealand halfback Jimmy Cowan has been convicted on two alcohol-related charges of disorderly behavior while All Blacks teammate Piri Weepu avoided conviction on an unrelated charge.
Cowan, 26, was convicted and discharged yesterday on one charge and fined 300 New Zealand dollars (US$200) on the other after his lawyer argued he had turned to alcohol to deal with "raging" personal issues.
