Leinster's affable prop Stan Wright is going to do his best to spend Christmas with an Australian slant, but without the sun and beer, he talks to Gavin Cummiskey in the Irish Times.
"Some people are lucky enough to know a guy, while slightly deranged, who possesses the natural ability to drag a room full of people to their knees in laughter. In Stanley Wright, Leinster have such a character. To the communications department’s credit, they rolled out the Cook Islander prop for some festive cheer in Riverview yesterday.
"Now, all Wright’s comments should be taken with a pinch of salt. A good-natured human being if ever there was one, he brought a refreshing honestly and infectious chesty laugh to proceedings. It started with an innocuous enough question about plans for Christmas day.
“Spending Christmas day with the Whitakers’. We usually spend it there. Spent it there last year. Just down the road. This time I don’t think I will be walking out legless. Every time we go to the Whitaker’s we seem to come out legless – maybe not this year.”
