“I am not some old guy hanging around off the field"
I think that job's just been taken! :biggrin:
He is/was an awesome* player and his ability to stand out in both codes speaks volumes. He is a tough act to follow for any aspirant code switcher and his combined record (as laid out by Ian_Cook in another thread) will probably never be bettered.
He leads a charmed life for gathering honours as moves codes/teams as he showed at Leinster a couple of years ago. Probably his stint at the Highlanders was his least sucessful period.
Great signing!
*Overly used adjective I know - sorry.
