Still Sharpe

Josh Rakic, among others, pays tribute to Wallaby Test centurion Nathan Sharpe in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"It might be Nathan Sharpe's 100th Test tonight but hooker Stephen Moore says the 33-year-old second-rower can lay claim to at least another 66 caps.

"Moore made his Super Rugby debut under Sharpe's tutelage at the Queensland Reds in 2003, and said if it wasn't for the Gold Coast product, he'd likely never have had the confidence to force his way on to the international stage and play more than 60 Tests for the Wallabies.

''He could have easily just ignored me but he really made an effort to take me under his wing and look after me,'' said Moore, who still has a photo of he and Sharpe embraced in celebration after an emotional victory over England in 2008."
