The Sydney Morning Herald's Chris Dutton reveals why Wallabies star Adam Ashley-Cooper swapped the Brumbies for the Waratahs.
"Matt Giteau reckons the changes in Adam Ashley-Cooper are as simple as the clothes he wears and ''that strange fringe he's growing''.
"But they go so much deeper than that. For the past two months, Ashley-Cooper has been a man conflicted. He was forced to choose between loyalty and love.
"Would he decide to remain with the Brumbies or end his time in Canberra to be with his partner and family in Sydney?
"Deep down he knew long ago that he was saying goodbye to the Brumbies, but he put his announcement off as long as possible.
"Why? Because Ashley-Cooper is no longer the starstruck kid who burst on to the scene seven years ago. He has new priorities and a new outlook on life."
