Fvck you Rory, keeping me awake when I just wanted to crash after an emotional day. You were never going to make it, but Jeez, fair play you gave it a helluva shot. Right. Time for Lee to win it so I can post a legendary Dubai Saints picture on Instagram ---

Well played Shane. Mastered the conditions. Twinged the heartstrings in your speech. And nice to see my mate Warren Little of Getty Images doing sterling work at the end there with the battered Bush Hat on global TV :lou_facepalm_2:
