For those that didn’t get to see Sabella,think of a more experienced and consistent David Brooks

Its a wonder I can remember what I had for tea yesterday...
Actually, there is one golden moment I recall. In the reserves, Sabella and Kenworthy were returning from injury I think and so I went down to watch them. they ran the game (can't recall who it was against) but our fullback hit a long hoof, and Sabella bicycle kicked it on the full, in the centre circle and switched the play completely from right to left. It landed at the left wingers feet. Astonishing. I couldn't wait to ride my pet unicorn home so I could tell my Dad all about....no hang on. It was a dream, a bloody dream. No it wasn't! It really happened just like that!!! (...except for the unicorn.). One of the most extraordinary things I've ever seen. He was a genius, shame we surrounded him with donkeys (not unicorns).
