Repentant Hull KR star Brad Takairangi insists he’s learned from the “biggest mistake” of his life and hopes to play for the club again.
The high-profile Kiwi second-row was given a 12-month suspended jail sentence in April for crashing into a police car as he drove the wrong way on a dual carriageway while drunk. Takairangi was two-and-a-half times over the limit during the collision in Hull early on January 2.
The 33-year-old, who admitted two drink-driving offences, avoided prison but was ordered to carry out 300 hours of unpaid work, including coaching young rugby players in the city. In his first interview since the infamous incident, Takairangi told Mirror Sport : “It’s definitely the biggest mistake I’ve made in my life.
