There is no truth to the rumour that I took two weeks leave to continue to celebrate
the mighty Tiger premiership win last month!!! But what a fantastic win it was - Go
Tigers ‘Yellow and Black’!
I took two weeks long service leave and had a fantastic time in Bali with my wife. But
it’s great to be back at WASPS feeling refreshed and looking forward to a busy but
exciting Term 4.
