Colonel was on TV too tho....after "old man" Ovo and Hindy had taken their media snaps - and Hindy had looked VERY much like he was gonna drop the thing, Colonel stepped in to keep it safe again....I'm going to my wife - hey there's The Colonel and she's going "what are you talking about - is that what you call hindy now?" :lol:

:lol:

He tried hard to see if it could be dropped. When we brought it down for the presentation we were sitting in front of him and Fui. He tapped one of the girls on the shoulder that was holding it and frightened her and she nearly let go. Quite funny but nerve wracking....

How heavy is that thing?

Very. I know why in the past when they used to do the lap around the field at the end of games it changed hands quite often. It would weigh 50+ kgs easily.

there's a classic photo in 1981 where Edge and O'Reilly were carrying it and the look on Steve Edge's face suggested that he was really struggling with it.

why thank you! Of course I wouldn't have been able to do it without an inspiration like yourself!
