Marc Hinton, writing for the Dominion Post, claims Zac Guildford needs help and one more chance.
"Rugby will not - and should not - wash its hands of Zac Guildford. To hang the young man out to dry right now would be to desert him in his moment of need.
Guildford is clearly a troubled individual who may or may not have just hit rock bottom. If he hasn't reached ground zero, he has certainly plunged pretty near it after his latest series of incidents in Rarotonga.
There are those out there who believe he should be sacked from his job as an employee of the New Zealand Rugby Union and its franchise offshoot the Crusaders because of his unacceptable behaviour while on holiday in the Cook Islands."
