Lesbian scandal shakes top rugby team
Peter Jenkins and Katrina Beikoff

A BITTER lesbian love triangle has fractured Australia's World Cup women's rugby union team.
A report reveals a key player overdosed on painkillers after a physical altercation with another player over the bust-up of their relationship. Halfback Cheryl Soon will represent Australia in the team's first World Cup game in Barcelona on Monday against Wales, despite an official recommendation she "should not be selected to represent NSW again". The report, to the NSW Rugby Union by state manager Larry Thomson concerning Soon, was sent to the ARU ahead of the World Cup team selections. Thomson's report followed an incident involving Soon during the NSW team's tour of New Zealand in March. The sex scandal erupted into violence on March 15 at the team motel, Yellowstone Park Motel in Hamilton, when team assistant manager Pam Thomson checked Soon's room and found her "in a very unstable condition, lying on her bed and having just been sick", the report said. "After investigations by Pam and myself, and several of the senior players, we ascertained that during the night an argument had occurred between two members of the team who had previously been in a relationship," Larry Thomson wrote in his report. "The two players had an argument, both verbally and physically, during the night, and then went to their separate rooms." Soon was taken to Hamilton Hospital about 8am where she was diagnosed with having overdosed on Panadol tablets. The Courier-Mail has learned the incident involved Soon and her former lover, Australian centre-fly half TuiOrmsby.
