Absolute legend. Hopefully he gets an amazing reception in the stadium.
Fascinating listening to JT and Murray talking in the podcast about Joe’s ability to find any weakness in a side and exploit it, like 2 of the NZ qtr final tries against us. Should be interesting to see what he picks out in young Sam’s game. A pity winning has to matter so much as it would have been a great learning test to see what he would do against a starting Casey, Izzy, Gus, O’Toole, etc….
Agreed Carmine. Any Aviva crowd owes Joe a big reception. He developed the confidence in our team to challenge the best in the world – at least in the rankings. He gave this entire generation the space & tools to be the best version of themselves. And above all he was always a gentleman.
He should get a brilliant reception and if he doesn’t I’ll be mortified. Got so much to be thankful to him for, instilling that training should be top notch. Was just listening to Ian Madigan on Indo pod, even his description of rucking, ball presentation and walk throughs was super..
