TOASTING VICTORY
“This is the best part of playing rugby, being able to share a beer with your mates after the game in the changing room. This is after the Champions Cup quarter-final win over Stormers and as you can see we are a really tight-knit squad. All the players not in the 23 come into the changing room, there’s the best part of 60-odd boys and management in total.
“Rob (Baxter) wheeled out the wheelie bin of beers and I thought, as an older head, I’ll start chucking them out with Jack Yeandle. This is the bit that I’ll miss. I won’t miss the nine to five training or how my body feels, but I’ll miss game day and the special feeling of enjoying a victory.”
