Congrats are in order

I just found out that one of my friends, Daniel from Oz is being flown in for the England-Aus match at Twickenham this Saturday. He's a young up and coming player, definitely worth watching.

I knew a fair amount of the guys who played for the Syd Uni Rugby Club as the ape played there before he was injured. Daniel played for a different club but had gone to school with one of our other friends. One of the most colorful characters was our friend Wayne. He is of Chinese descent but grew up in Trinidad Tobago and studied in Toronto. He is an incredibly nice person, but also a perplexing one to chat with without knowing his background. How many Chinese do you know can pull off a 'mon' ? Wayne was what you might call 'out of it' as he was in his early thirties, married with a kid and lived a life heavy on the ganja. This conversation, among many, does well to paint an accurate picture of the innocence of Wayne.

'Daniel, what do you really want to do? Where do you want to go?'
'I want to be a Wallaby'
'Son, if you really want it and work hard, with a bit of luck you'll get there, I've seen you play. Just keep working hard and don't lose hope.'
'Thanks'

Unbeknownst to Wayne, Daniel had been called up for a Tri-Nations match the coming weekend and everyone had been excitedly talking about it just 3 minutes before.

Good luck this weekend!
