New dawn for Smith in Land of the Rising Sun

In the Sydney Morning Herald, David Sygall meets former Wallabies flanker George Smith ahead of his move to Japan.

"It's not all about money for the Japan-bound former Wallaby, who says the game has helped him rise from humble beginnings.

"He played 110 Tests over nearly a decade, captained the Wallabies, featured in 122 Super Rugby matches and is heading overseas this week to begin a deal that will make him Australia's highest paid rugby player.

"Yet George Smith says the highlight of his career was having his face put on the cover of a rugby-based video game, which he plans to have framed and mounted when he returns from his three-year stint with Suntory in Japan."
