'Classic' Cordingley gets a fitting end

As a tribute to 32-year-old scrumhalf Sam Cordingley, Wallabies management have given him the honour of presenting the jerseys to the players before their Test against France on Saturday.
This honour is usually given to past Wallabies, but the team wanted to make the moment Cordingley's as his days as a Wallaby will end at the completion of the tour, when he goes to Grenoble to join the French club competition.
"Presenting the jerseys will be great, but I did say to [Wallabies manager] Phil Thomson that I will be the only classic Wallaby still playing," Cordingley told rugbyheaven.com.au
"It says something about my age, but I am really looking forward to it.
"I've now just got to make sure I say the right thing. I'll do my speech off the cuff, otherwise I'll stuff it up."
There is also a chance that Cordingley could get more game time than first anticipated as run-on scrumhalf, Luke Burgess is believed to have the flu.
