Stuff.co.nz's Matt Richens talks to Zac Guildford about his battle against the bottle.
"'Zac Guildford says staying sober for a year is going to be hard, but he knows it's a must after hitting "rock bottom".
When the 22-year-old should have been enjoying the afterglow of the All Blacks' Rugby World Cup win late last year, he was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons after a booze-fuelled night in Rarotonga where he walked naked and bleeding into a bar before getting into a stoush with patrons.
His public fall from grace led Crusaders coach, Todd Blackadder, to warn that the Super Rugby campaign was "no second-chance saloon" for the talented wing who was suspended for three pre-season games and one Super match."
