    Good to see the little man is in such high demand!

    But who will he go with?

    I assume he's going to the "Sungoliath" - he may have already played out his contract in France...

    Now the Japanese just need to start paying their own players enough to be full-time professionals and they might have a decent league.

    They're a bit too old for that now hun.

    That's why a lot of players leave Australia before their bodies give up on them so they can receive lucrative payment deals while they still have a few more years of rugby playing left in them.

Quite simply, he holds the world rugby test cap record with 139, led the Wallabies a record 58 games (according to the ARU website its 58, according to some news articles back in the day its a tied world record of 59), and has played 136 Super 12/14 games, a SANZAR record.

    I think Toulon signed alot of one off players to get into the Top 14, after that they will sign longer term players...

    He is also a true gentleman in the game - don't remember any off field incidents (gotta admit to enjoying the on field banter between Paddy O'Brien (ref) and George) but do remember some of the charity stuff - also he even looked good eating Weetbix - a marketing man's delight gosh I'd hire him for any team.
