another Campese shooting his mouth off

Campo nephew slams rugby

TERRY Campese, the nephew of Wallaby great David Campese, says rugby is boring.

He has made the claim as he prepares for league's festival of tries - the World Sevens, which kicks off on Saturday at Aussie Stadium.

The 19-year-old Canberra Raiders five-eighth joined the Raiders at the end of 2002 after a lack of opportunities with the ACT Brumbies. He represented the Australian Schoolboys rugby team but now wants nothing to do with the game his uncle dominated for 14 years.

Campese watched two games at last year's World Cup - neither of which excited him.

"It was pretty boring," he said. "Rugby league is much better."

Campese said he watched the New Zealand-Wales pool match and the World Cup final, won by England in the final seconds of extra-time when Jonny Wilkinson kicked a drop goal.

The teenager insists he has not inherited the silky skills that made Campese one of rugby's entertainers.

"I don't think I'll be a very good Sevens player," Campese said.

"I'm not quick enough."

SOUNDS LIKE HE WOULD HAVE PLAYED RUGBY IF HE COULD HAVE!
:lol:

If the Brumbies didnt want him then why did they offer him a contract :roll:

Its no different from ex League players saying the same thing now they are playing Rugby. You always complement your employer. He's an Australian shooting his mouth off comes second nature.

At 19 its a bit early to be shooting your mouth off. Who's to say where the mighty dollar will lead him in 10 years.............

I'm sure a lot of people find their jobs boring - but they still go in to work every day

This young bloke better be able to back up his big mouth with big plays or he will playing premier league and he will never be heard of again. David has a big mouth but at least he has the runs on the board.
