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."
