it was mid June 1995 3:30 a.m. on a
chilly winters morning seven-year-old me
had hardly slipped that night his
excitement raced through my body earlier
my llama bleared at 2:55 a.m. now
pounced out a beard as if it were
Christmas Day my whole family was
sleeping so as quietly as I could I
fumbled around with the noisy back door
lock I opened the door and I was off
with one leap I cleared the three stairs
might be a feet landing on the frosty
lon and I sprinted as fast as I could
a quick 30 meter dash to the back of
that property as I approached the house
at the other side of the lawn a light
came on inside I skated up the stairs
and frantically knocked on the door the
curtains open and a man with a mustache
in his 50s unlocked the door the door
was opening too slowly for my liking so
I gave it some assistance forcing it
open even quicker as I entered there was
a heater burning inside at 60% I rolled
in like I own the place turn the heater
up to full as the old man gave me a cup
of hot chocolate I turned on the
television to hear the familiar sound of
Keith Quinn's voice and the national
anthems of New Zealand and England we
were of course watching the All Blacks
New Zealand's national rugby team
playing the semi-final of the Rugby
World Cup even as a seven-year-old boy I
could name every single member of their
all-black starting team my favorite
Patsy Goldie
Osbourne when we was changing the face
of rugby at that time but for me the
biggest hero of them all was one
particular man called zan zan Brock then
he was an amazing player he had all the
skills and no weaknesses it was very
much a poor loser but I liked that about
him when I was even in my eyes zili
could do no wrong and apart from my
Emily Zini was my hero it was about 3:30
a.m. on that fateful morning when Zhen
Zhen Brooke drop kicked a rugby ball
