Weeks after the recently concluded IVP where NUS surged on with a successful defence of their title, fresh allegations have emerged from the Clementi camp regarding the eligibility and integrity of their fiercest rivals, 3-time unlucky NTU Boonlay warrior's 2007 campaign. Coach Tan is accused of fielding overaged players in a bid to wrest NUS's iron grip on the Varsity Rugby Challenge.
In the centre of the brewing storm is rumoured to be NTU's freshman winger KKK. KKK is no stranger to controversies, having been doubted as a winger throughout his rugby career. Singapore's very own 'Mouth of the South' , international prop Mark Lee even commented that KKK has been masquarading as a winger his whole life, and that he needs to get a grip on himself to resurrect a flailing career. Initially thought as a godsent to solve NTU's shortage of quality front rowers, KKK adamantly insisted on hugging the touchlines with his immense 'speed', refusing to even go near any scrums. Most recently, KKK is accused of being grossly overaged to play in a varsity tournament.
"All due respect to NTU, but I see no reason how me and my teammates can believe KKK is an undergraduate, much less a freshman. I am not a loser, much less a sore loser. This is about integrity and accountability to oneself. I have had troubles sleeping at night and I really need to whistle blow on this matter" said NUS's ethiopian stickman Wayne, when asked to comment on the his IVP victory during the Cleo Top 50 Bachelor awards night.
" I hail from the mighty lands of Kenya and I thought I have seen everything there is to see. I am certainly shocked to see KKK in person and I pray for this poor boy, erm old man." said NUS No.8, fondly remembered by fans as the Black Panther for his powerful running style.
An informal complaint is said to be lodged with SRU and a trial is expected to be held in the coming weeks. When contacted, KKK refused to comment on the allegations, brushing them aside as a load of crap.
" I have absolute faith and trust in my players. When KKK told me he was only 21 and eligible, I did not hesitate to believe him. Well ok maybe I was shocked but still, I stand by my players. Everyone is innocent unless proven guilty." NTU Captain SK's parting words to the reporters present as he stood to leave the packed media room with KKK.
