City boys left red-faced after rugby tour 'rules' email goes viral

Herald Globe (ANI) Thursday 9th February, 2012

Four schoolboys have been left open to public ridicule after an indiscreet list of rules for their rugby tour to Dubai was leaked for the world to see.

The group of high-flying friends, who call themselves G4, devised the rules ahead of their trip to the Dubai 7s tournament in March and included obscene sexual practices, cheating on their girlfriends and chanting about "how rich we are", the Telegraph reported.

The tongue-in-cheek memo from the group, which boasts of their "capability to dominate social, political and economical spheres", also featured profiles of its four members.

According to the profile, the group's "president" James Hill, is believed to be in his mid-20s, is a terrorism and political violence insurance broker at Willis.

The email claims that he is "a remarkably good looking individual who is permanently tanned and has an extremely muscular body."

The group also includes George Boulton-Lea, a ship broker at Arrow, Rory Jones, an account executive at Lightfoot Marketing Asia, and Daniel England, a lawyer with Shearman and Sterling and University College London graduate.

Instructions for their trip stated:heating is allowed;

no anti-lad behaviour allowed (i.e. calling girlfriends, being nice to random expats);

chants about your surrounding environment, being oily and how rich we are, are compulsory;

mentioning of parents' salaries once a day;

public school boy 10 minutes (collars must be up) at specified 10 minutes part the hour.

The personal memo was sent to employees at global companies such as Clifford Chance and Barclays Wealth.

Jones, the "captain" of the group, has a background in law working for Justice where his profile claimed he was in a team "scrutinising the implications of EU justice and home affairs proposals."

He also interned at Freshfields Bruckhuas Deringer and studied at Nottingham University.

Before that Jones attended City of London Freemen's School where he captained the 1st XV rugby team.

The email goes on to describe him as "a strong character" to be "compared to a true Viking warrior." (ANI)
