Nick Farr-Jones

Like, Dan Carter.

Mate, Nick Farr-Jones, Michael Leiner.

I'm like, who is – yeah, Dan Carter, number 10.

Like, they need stability there.

But there will be some rhetorical questions that I'll ask, and then some, there'll be something from the audience.

And this is where I think, this is where it makes you a performer, not a performer, but just a, that, and I was just thinking, because I did a recording at the Boatshed, you know, and they had a whole rugby crew, and Nick Farr-Jones was there, and he brought a Kiwi bloke with him.

And I just happened to say, and I was just listening to it, it's only Kiwis here, and I said, look, I wasn't going to do this because you're here, and it's called the Tragic Kiwi Love poem.

It's a very short poem I wrote on the way to the, on the ferry from Manly to do a, when I used to emcee the stuff at the rugby club for part of the test or perform at the rugby club, yeah.

that.

Because we're up against an Australian side, festooned with legends, Farr Jones, Campisi, Lina, and they go on and win the whole tournament.

Up to that point, we were considered a bit of a rabble.

But in the 75th minute of the game, we scored this incredible, iconic, maybe the greatest try of all time in Lansdowne Road scored by an Irish team.

Like Dan Carter.

I mean, Nick Farr-Jones, Michael Lynagh.

I mean, who was the...

Yeah, Dan Carter, number 10.

A wonderful bit of news this week that Rugby Australia has renamed one of their prized awards for Volunteer of the Year with the Spirit of Rugby Award.

It was previously named after Nick Farr-Jones, Spirit of Rugby Award.

They've renamed it after the late Peter Marzomar, a Randwick rugby legend who sadly was lost as one of the victims during the Bondi terrorist attack at the end of last year.

It will now be called the Peter Marr Spirit of Rugby Award, Justin, which is a great acknowledgement and testament to his contribution to the game.

Uh, I, I was at the game when we won it back and haven't lost it since, and I've told that story a number of times.

I was there sta- it's a name drop, but I was standing with Nick Farr-Jones.

[laughs] And, um, there was an All Black on the side.

Was it Column M? It was, it was like a legend All Black as well.

That's it

... was previously named after World Cup winning Wallabies captain Nick Farr-Jones-

Yeah

... has, I think this is a lovely touch, has been renamed.

And now y- you're absolutely right.

Absolutely brilliant fit that Peter's name will be, um, on the award.

And, and a shout-out to Nick Farr-Jones.

I spoke to him as well, who-

But I mean, that, that team that won the '91 World Cup, you, you've seen some great teams.

That team, uh, you know, Nick Farr-Jones and Campese, Horan, all those names.

Uh, where does-- Did that-- Was that the best Australian team, do you think?

I think it's nearly, uh, nearly the best because, uh, there were five or six players who were world 15 players in their own right.
