Injured Wallaby Cameron Shepherd hobbles to training

[lara93]

INJURED fullback Cameron Shepherd reveals frustration at not being able to pull on a Wallaby jumper - and of watching a teammate ruin his hairstyle.
It was so hard watching Saturday's Test against the South Africans and not being able to be a part of the team. It was particularly hard not being able to play in Perth.


The more I watched the game and the more the television cameras showed the crowd, the more I realised how much I look forward to playing in front of those passionate home supporters.

I managed to get out of the house and go with my parents to North's, my old Sydney rugby club, to watch the match. But I have to admit, I'm not the best person to watch a game with when I so desperately want to be a part of it.

It was an awesome win for the Wallabies. They showed great passion. I just wish I could have been out there.

poor Sheps. Atleast the Wallabies (players, coach, staff) and kind enough to call him and make him feel welcome. His injury was a major setback for him and the Wallabies. Hope this is his last injury for a while, he deserves a good clean run

Please post link to Sunday Times article or Uncle Rupert will cancel Sheps column because he doesn't think anyone is reading it...

here's a diff one:

PERTHNOW exclusive: Wallabies fullback Cameron Shepherd writes of the disaster that struck during the recent Test against France.

I'm so disappointed because I know I was playing good football and I was enjoying it.

I want that Wallabies fullback jersey. It may take a little bit longer to get my hands on it, but I'm determined to wrap my fingers around it again.

That's my goal and I'll be back fitter and stronger.

I love the mocking of Drew about his hair, sounds familiar.

Atleast Sheps isn't spending his time moping around. Good to hear his out watching the boys and stirring them up a bit.

glad he shares the funny thought of Drew as a front rower! classic Wallaby history if he actually had to!

Dont punish yourself Shep keep clear of training and concentrate on your rehab.

Poor Sheps I just wanna give him a big hug!

Anyway, as you all said, at least he can share the amusement at the thought of Drew as a forward.

Frist Staniforth then Drew - hmm who's next Sheppie !

Heh does anyone know if this is Shep's third injury - he has had a shocker - must be time for him to have a straight run !

With two knee injuries and a broken leg, I'd be surprised if he ever runs straight again!
