The rougher it got the more I enjoyed it

Josh Rakic talks to Waratahs skipper Phil Waugh after he completed the Sydney-Hobart yacht race in The Sydney Morning Herald.
”The rougher it got the more I enjoyed it." That's typical Phil Waugh. And the attitude that should have Wallabies coach Robbie Deans questioning why he ever left the tough-as-nails breakaway out of last year's spring tour.

"Just days back from his maiden Sydney to Hobart voyage, in which he finished fourth aboard supermaxi Loyal, the Waratahs skipper said he's already counting down the days to the 2010 race. However, he only got an hour's sleep in three days, so that could just be the celebratory beers talking.

"I certainly enjoyed the yachting and the actual racing. I think it's the competitive spirit," said Waugh, who was joined on the 100-footer by ex-Wallaby Phil Kearns, world champion boxer Danny Green and Olympic swimming gold medallist Grant Hackett.”
