So I was there literally just on the pitch, 14 seconds, got the ball, tackled.
Jamie Roberts landed me, broke my leg.
And I was like, I think I broke my leg.
And he said, so of course the same trolley came on with the same three medical staff.
no way yeah same three same doctors and uh literally i was on this trolley and i was coming off and i just listen i just thought to myself like i have worked so hard to get back to this team again and this is just isn't this just typical and like literally the people talked to me about how i smiled and you could see i was on the big screen i was just wasn't looking i was just thinking to myself and i just smiled as like just if you didn't laugh you'd cry and i thought um

And I used to listen to these motivational podcasts or motivational like YouTube videos.

YouTube video and it was like about resolve and perseverance and don't giving up so I was like right okay and I was going off to go get myself a coffee just to try and get away from the train venue for a bit so I listened to it I was pumped I got out of the car I went over and I just went to this coffee shop and I stood there in the queue and then this fella goes
Tommy Moe, have you retired then?
