Dave Dennis. Though badly injured a few weeks ago, meaning you couldn t take the field,US investor sues three banks , it was a great thing you lifted the Cup with Hooper. When the Waratahs wobbled earlier in the season, you were the one who got them back on track.

Will Skelton. More than a mere revelation, you re close to being a revolution. You are the one, and we want to see you unleashed against the All Blacks.

Bernard Foley. Champion. Don t speak. Not a word,On Sale True Religion Jeans, I said! Champion. Great kick.

Michael Cheika. Miracle man. You ve given starch to the pack, champagne to the backs,Autism’s numbers game- Preval, and transformed an entire culture. You ve taken off the shackles and made the Waratahs the strongest province of rugby in the entire world. You deserve all the accolades coming your way.

And one more word to those who have done so much work off-field. I can never quite work out the dual board structure of the NSWRU and all its chairmen, presidents, directors and so forth, but obviously to my eyes all of Roger Davis,Former Suffolk mayor comes cl, Sally Loane, Nick Farr-Jones, Tim Gavin, Mick Mathers, Michael Miller, Jason Allen and all the rest deserve great credit for taking what was a basket case and turning the whole thing around. It is for the rest of us now to honour your efforts and the efforts of all the Tahs and turn up in force next season. Can t wait. This is just the beginning.

I ll say it again. First we take Manhattan. Then we take Berlin. Christchurch is done.
