    May the Force be with baby Roman

    ROMAN Shepherd was handed his first pair of rugby boots this week. The bad news for the Western Force is he's only 21 days old.
    Wallaby and Western Force fullback Cameron Shepherd and fiancee Sam Bonar, both 27, have welcomed home baby Roman Paul after a brief stint in St John of God Hospital's neonatal unit.

    "He picked up a bit of an infection, which is quite common, but he had to be monitored so that whatever was going on in his little body didn't get any worse," Shepherd said. "The little fella (born 3.5kg) fought through it and we got him home the following Sunday.

    "Having him away from home for that week was very hard. You go through this nine-month journey and don't get to take him home. Now that he is home we feel that we can start our family."

    The first-time parents wanted a strong name, though Shepherd conceded Roman was third on his list.

    "Sam and I both had our favourite names. Sam's was Roman, which was in my top three. When the nurses and doctors asked us what we were going to call him I looked at Sam, who had just gone through 13 hours of labour, so that was it really.

    "I love it, it's a really strong name."

    Shepherd, who has played nine tests for the Wallabies and 78 super games for the Waratahs and the Force, ranks Roman's arrival as the highlight of his life.

    But the celebrations aren't over: the couple have set a wedding date December next year in their home town of Sydney.
