- 1211
New
Zealand fly-half Aaron Cruden has been suspended for two Rugby
Championship matches after missing the team's flight to Argentina
because of a late-night drinking session.
The All Blacks were due to fly to Argentina on Saturday but were delayed by a
day when their flight was canceled.
With 24 hours until the replacement
flight Cruden, who is New Zealand's first choice fly-half in the absence of
the injured Daniel Carter, went out drinking in Auckland and failed to make
it to the airport in time.
He will now not play against Argentina in La Plata on Saturday…
