We sit a couple of rows back and the right of Ewen and family and as such we are often privileged to get to see Joe's interactions with Ewen close up and how much they both get from it. Ewen was lost in the post match throng on Friday and we could see Joe hunting along the line so we started jumping and pointing, got a small thumbs up in return which made us feel part of the Team :)
I also have one of those shirts from Mike - was he mass producing them?!
That Cardiff story is an absolute classic. Bet you've told that one a few times! You're absolutely right that this could only happen in rugby. I dearly hope it stays that way.
Who’s going to tell the Tigers board?
Shah. If we don't tell them, maybe they will forget to sign anyone
That's the 1st time I've heard that story TBQ, what a fantastic night it was in Cardiff, I was pleased to be captured on camera with the Mrs and pals around me jumping for joy at the end but your story has made me well up big time!
I really don't think Joe will move on from Quins, there is too much history there from both sides. I reckon he'll go into coaching when Wales come calling for Bomb

That sounds plausible to me. On the rare occasions when he's caught on camera not goofing around, it's clear that he has a pretty incisive understanding of the game and I am sure his technical grasp of the scrum is right up there.
I hope he isn't entirely lost to broadcasting, though. He's tremendously good value.
Lovely story Joe, thanks for sharing it :-)
