    Rugby star faces ruin

    Wallaby and Western Force star Cameron Shepherd faces having his lucrative Australian Rugby Union contract torn up after further convictions for driving offences.

    In the Perth Magistrate's Court yesterday, Shepherd, 26, was fined $2400 and banned from driving for 12 months for driving with a blood alcohol reading in excess of .08 in December.

    He will appear before the ARU's code of conduct tribunal on Monday accused of bringing the game into disrepute.

    It has the power to end Shepherd's ARU contract, impose match bans or fine him.

    Repeat offender and not a young bloke so the general excuses will not work. Personally I hope they throw the book at him!

    So long as it is a paperback, he's likely to get injured otherwise...
    He's from WA, of course he's rooted.

    My prediction is a 2 match ban and $5000 fine + mandatory counselling.

    Yeah, but more likely is two match payments donated to the Queensland flood appeal!
