80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Not sure if I would still class him as a "major signing", though am more than happy to have him. Hopefully he proves to be another Samo type of signing.

good news but i like this statement more: "Deans said he thought Pocock, sidelined for two months following knee surgery, would return on the four-Test tour although added he would not regain the captaincy from senior lock Nathan Sharpe.
Although Sharpe was Australia's fourth-choice skipper this season, Deans confirmed the 34-year-old second-rower would keep the captaincy following his inspirational leadership in the past four Tests.
"Sharpie has been fantastic as a leader," Deans told reporters.
"He's brought a lot of composure to the group and brought us back on task for what is important at any given moment.
"He's also developing the people around him."

"He should have been Captain all along..."

...Deans then went on to imply that the humble pie he has ben consuming over the past few weeks tastes quite bitter"Sharpie has been fantastic as a leader," Deans told reporters.
"He's brought a lot of composure to the group and brought us back on task for what is important at any given moment.
"He's also developing the people around him."
I believe his win-loss would look better.

Well well Robbie, what a difference a year makes.
A career that a year ago you were trying to end has possibly now helped save yours!
Heaped in irony....
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
You know a lesser man would have told Robbie Deans to stick it. Fortunately for Robbie Deans - Nathan Sharpe is far from a Lesser man.
Sharpie should have been named Captain when Stirling Mortlock Retired.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

Nice... just hope his injury prone pins are going to hold out the season without too much trouble....
I will NEVER forgive Plonker Deans for not giving Sharpie the jersey for the semi-finals in the RWC!!!
Foley says Hugh has mongrel. Let's hope so
