City Boys' Shame after Rugby Email Goes Viral
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: For four young City high-fliers, the adage "what goes on tour, stays on tour" has unravelled after a private email with their "tour rules" went viral.

In the indiscrete memo, the former public schoolboys - who called their group “G4” - drew up 13 rules for their upcoming trip to the Dubai 7s rugby tournament in March that stated “cheating is allowed” along with compulsory chants about “how rich we are”.

The instructions also included “mentioning parents’ salaries once a day” as well as referring to obscene sexual acts.

The men, who all work for international corporations, included brief profiles about one another in the email that was sent to employees at global companies including Clifford Chance and Barclays Wealth.

Their antics could prove damaging to their careers after they included details of their jobs and employers in a mock “CV”, which made its way around the world.

A source told the Daily Telegraph: “Someone forwarded it on maliciously to so many people. It was just a joke for a holiday.

“It is getting so out of hand. This could ruin their careers. Someone just forwarded it on because they thought it was funny.” » | Donna Bowater and Anna White | Thursday, February 09, 2012
