Dressing Shed Report:
This is HILARIOUS: We had to wait a full 40 minutes in a waiting room outside the 'inner sanctum' because (after 10 minutes) - "We just need to wait for Dessie to finish his post-match talk with the boys." After 20 minutes - "We're really sorry - Des is still going with his 'post-match talk...' " After 30 minutes - "We're bringing the players to you - Des is still talking to the players..." (Tino and Beau Fermor sheepishly come out and pose with us for photos). 40-minute mark - "Okay, you can go in now."
Anyway, shook hands with Dessie - he was the most calm, quiet, and compassionate guy you could imagine. The highlight of the night - even better than the win - was him meeting my son, Reuben - ruffling his hand through his hair like your favourite Uncle would - and posing for photos. This is the stuff that puts everything in perspective. We also had a few players do the same - which was just so good, considering the fact that they had just been flogged.
All around - an awesome night - Sharks did us proud - we were smiling from kick-off until the end of the night!
