Yes, the end of summer can be a bit of a downer for some. But for me, it means the start of a brand new rugby season - a situation I can easily cope with.
And, of course, a brand new season means brand new kit and boots.
Which impressed some more than others.
Some new coaches also took to the stage.Most importantly Kris, the new micros head coach - the word "COACH" emblazoned on his back is the giveaway
He did great.
And this is Dublin Daniel.
If ever a man needed new kit, it's Dublin Daniel. We'll see what we can do.
As for me, well, tonight Jamie described my role as that of a "helper coach." Which, whilst absolutely accurate, was ever so slightly wounding.
Let the games begin.
