This sure brought a lump to the throat (although I’m not sure about the soundtrack choice for the first bit).

Oh so they do know the words – even Dingo sings it!

Sharpie was a favourite of mine early on (because I could always pick him with his blue headgear). Since then he’s gone from strength to strength, and leaves on a high. He’ll be missed.

nice of the construction worker from the village people to help Sharpie out on the song.

A legend who stepped up when the Wallabies needed him the most.

Sharpe is a true legend of the game. Great captain and a great player. I dont think anything demonstrates Aussie ticker like Sharpie putting of his retirment to captain his country one last time. Real respect for him and seems a true gentleman as well-aussie rugby is now poorer.
