    #156 BREAKING: Ex-Wallabies Captain Rocky Elsom Speaks Out on His International Arrest Warrant

    Rocky Elsom is a former Wallabies captain with 70 international caps to his name. Rocky was handed a five-year prison sentence by a French court in October 2024 on charges of forgery and misusing funds during his time as president with French Rugby Union club Narbonne. This conviction triggered an international arrest warrant, but Rocky, who strongly denies these allegations, remains on the run, claiming he never got the fair shake to defend himself and plans to appeal. I spoke with Rocky while he was evading French and Irish authorities.
