“Immediately afterwards, Wazza (Rooney) was hot in the changing room. A few people got to him and said ‘it’s not as you might think it is.’

“And then, by the time we’d got in the shower, then we got onto the coaches, I think Cristiano called me and said ‘Ri, can you go and get Wayne? I just want to talk to him and tell him that I didn’t mean anything by it, there was no malice or animosity in what I did. We’re both on the same team, I would never do that, he’s my boy.’

“I went and got Wazza and said ‘listen, Cris wants to talk to you.’ I got him off the coach and I put them together. From that point, I didn’t say anything else, I let them deal with it like men.”
