How Wallabies legends broke the news to players they are headed to the Rugby World Cup | tomdecent

“To hear it from your mate is awesome … we roomed together for most of 2015,” Hooper said. “He was calling me and I was at dinner. I was like, ‘mate, I’m trying to eat dinner’. I thought he was calling for a catch-up. I cut him a bit short but then he said, ‘I’ve got something I need to tell you’ and I said I'd hang on for that. It was a pretty funny conversation.”“I was in birthing class.

“It was at 10pm and I’d gone to bed. We got told to keep our phones nearby and I’d given up. Goog [Harrison] called me and he was in Samoa and he said, ‘sorry about the late call’. I think he was pissed actually. He sounded like he was having a good time. I said 'isn’t that 1am in the morning for you?' He said 'mate. It’s an honour to give you the call'. The missus was off me. She couldn't work out who the hell was calling at 10pm.
