scrum half - shaun fitzpatrick

[Mr I]

I just spent the evening in the company of he, he's a fucking god in my eyes. Best speech I ever heard live, no shit I was about 15 feet away from him speaking about when he was a kid, his weight problems as a kid meaning he had to play in harder leagues than the others etc. Micro experience recolections in games he played and guys that put the hurt down on him ansd how he got through it. He was so genuine I fuckin loved it, then at the end he said his all time dream was to do the hakka when he was growing up and he did it right there, proud as hell on the microphone in front of everyone, his favourite version. I was fucking blown away in tears!

When you sit there and listen to the man, I mean 'the man' talk with absolute sincerity about his all time dream and his passion for his sport, thats the best speech I ever heard and I told him after. The guy may be old now but he's hard, you know what I mean hard.

Best night of my life, fuckin awsome!

I got my picture with him!

Best night so genuine I'll never forget

Awesome man, I am jealous!! Sean Fitzpatrick is a god in my eyes too. There is nobody in the rugby world that I admire more than him. People talk about Pinetree Meads and stuff but that was an era before me, I never got to see him play. Sean is the link between the old school and the new, I think. I think Zinzan Brooke is up there, but there is nobody like Sean.

Post the picture when you get a chance - I'd love to see it!

LOL.... I can hear you speaking as an Aussie but can you think of ANY Wallaby hooker in the last 25 years you would rather have if you had a chance to have Sean playing on your team? I can't think a single manager of any team in the world making an different choice.
