I have a sneaking suspicion that the 'driver' is taking the fall for someone else...
CCTV apparently shows that Sylvia was not driving.
If you're not driving your own car at 6am its because you're pissed.

If its confirmed he's not the driver, well and good.
Even better if he made the call not to drive.
Just didn't think enough to wait around for the van.

There's always the Cousins option. Maybe the drink wasn't the problem?

Either way, wasn't driving. Made at least one good decision.
Plenty of bad ones, one good one.

Drinking the week he is to represent his country wasn't smart either.

Who cares? Historically the whole tour has been a glorified booze up and I'm sure he isn't the only player to have had a drink in the week leading up to the irish games.
Is there a no alcohol policy on all players participating? If not, than this is not even an issue.

Is that just a general team-rules thing or because of the historical issues with the Irish games?

Who just leaves their BMW after it's been in an accident?
Someone with deep pockets....
