JUSTIN HARRISION BEGS FOR FORGIVENESS

DISGRACED Justin Harrison has pleaded for rugby to forgive him following his drugs shame.

The Aussie lock was banned for eight months after admitting taking cocaine at Bath's end- of-season party in London.

And in an interview in this morning's Sydney Sunday Telegraph Harrison, 35, admits: "I want to re-establish my reputation after a horrible mistake.

"I admitted I was in the wrong and only had myself to blame. I had to repair whatever damage I'd done to my family, people close to me and rugby, which has given me a fantastic career.

"It'd be wrong of me to sever all ties and I hope rugby doesn't want to sever ties with me.

"I've been sentenced and punished. People have gone through a lot of pain and I'll carry that for a long while."
