    An England rugby star\u2019s initiation went so wrong that he ended up vomiting on the RFU president\u2019s head. <\/p>\n

    Rugby is renowned for its initiation rituals which welcome new players to a team, with most involving a sing-song and downing copious amounts of alcohol. James Haskell, who played for England between 2007 and 2019, has seen plenty over the years, with varying outcomes.<\/p>\n

    Haskell himself belt out an X-rated song on front of coaches and their wives wives while one player\u2019s initiation resulted in him puking over a leading figure in the Rugby Football Union. Haskell recalled the antics during his appearance on the The Matt Haycox Show podcast.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYou had to sing on the England [team] bus,\u201d he recalled. \u201cA lot of the team went with Oasis \u2018Wonderwall\u2019. I went with Tenacious D \u2018You Don\u2019t Have to F*** Her Hard\u2019 [actually called F*** Her Gently], which went down really, really, really badly with the coaches and coaches\u2019 wives.<\/p>\n

    \u201cAnd then you have to have a drink with every member of the team, which again can get very messy. I\u2019ve seen lads not make it through the starters.<\/p>\n

    \u201cOne particular player, five drinks in [he] ran off to the toilet to spew, and as he opened the door, he puked on the president of the RFU\u2019s head, which is not an ideal scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n

    After retiring from rugby in 2019, Haskell has led a varied life, including a stint fighting in the Bellator MMA promoter and appearing in the 19th series of I\u2019m a Celebrity\u2026 Get Me Out of Here!, where he was the fourth person to be voted out.<\/p>\n

    Married to Chloe Madeley \u2013 the daughter of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan \u2013 Haskell is also a keen DJ, specialising in house and techno music.<\/p>\n
