Rugby: it's the game played in heaven, not in hospital
They build 'em tough at BT.
Australian equities chief Rohan Hedley recently proved the recent hoopla over BT's sale to the corn growers from Iowa wasn't going to take his eye off the ball.

Australian equities chief Rohan Hedley recently proved the recent hoopla over BT's sale to the corn growers from Iowa wasn't going to take his eye off the ball.
Newcastle boy Rohan was strolling through the wind and rain to his seat at the Australia v England rugby test a couple of weeks back when his feet gave way beneath him. As he had his hands in his pock-ets, Rohan's knee took the full force of the fall and was smashed "to a pulp", according to colleagues.
Now under these circumstances, it would be perfectly acceptable to break out in tears, call for Mummy and writhe about in pain until am-bulance officers provided the appropriate pain killers.
But not for Rohan. He simply got up, brushed himself off and made his way to his seat to renew his love affair with rugby union. He wasn't going to miss that game.
His ensuing three weeks in hospital restricted Assirt's ability to rate BT in the wake of the Principal takeover. So if you wanted to know why Assirt only recently lifted its hold recommendation off BT, now you know.
