It's been confirmed - Brett Sheehan has been flown in from the USA by Cottesloe to play in their Premier Grand Final team!
We'll all get the opportunity of watching the Wallaby veteran play for his local club, with whom he has had an ongoing connection all through this season, even though due to commitments and injuries he hasn't actually played or registered with them yet.
Taking into account all these factors, and to ensure that club rugby supporters in WA get to see Sheehan's dazzling skills and crunching tackles no matter what, RugbyWA have given him dispensation to play despite the rule requirements as to qualification.
This has been warmly greeted by all Nedlands players who relish with gusto the opportunity to even walk on the same field as the Great Man, and most Nedlands supporters, who would rather (quite rightly) see him play than win the Grand Final themselves.
Those of us who's teams did not make the Grand Final salute their selflessness and desire to put the good of rugby and the needs and wants of the wider rugby community before their own.
Hansie, we salute you and your club once more.
