We have no doubt that all of our fans and readers are proud to be a part of this passionate collective, know as the rugby community. It’s a community that lives long and lives passionately and is there to support your mates. Well the time has come for this very community that we are proud to all be apart of, to stand up for the little man.
Only a few will know of the struggles of a man affectionately known as Waratah Jesus. You must travel some distance to find a person as passionate for any team as WJ is for his beloved Waratahs. Now you see WJ has a dream. Well he has two dreams, but let’s move on from the one concerning Tom Carter. Waratah Jesus has had a dream to be chosen to run the match ball onto the field for the Waratahs before one of their Super Rugby games. Despite continual polite requests to the Waratahs, Mr Jesus has been let down time and time again. Just like the time he was meant to win a free car but the Tahs gave it to someone else.
Well it’s time to raise up. We’ve managed to rustle up a few rugby luminaries to help us get the message across – a message that is simply, we want Tah Jesus to run the ball!
You can sing along to the below words using the music to this song:
It’s season’s end, and there’s no need to be afraid
We’re playing the Reds, it’s a game where dreams are made.
And in this game of plenty, we can spread a smile of joy
Throw the ball to our Dub-J
At season’s end
Let’s give a chance, a chance to the older ones
At season’s end, it’s hard but while you’re having fun
There’s a guy outside your change room, and it’s a guy who loves sky blue
Where a symbol of his passion, is a permanent tattoo
And a multi-year persistence of a thousand tweets to you
Well today we’re reaching out and asking you
Bring thrill and joy to Tah Jesus on Saturday
Let him run the ball out for the team
To run the ball out first
Will quench is holy thirst
We want to see Tah Jesus run the ball?
Let him run
We’ll come out to cheer him on
Let him star
It’ll make the game so much fun
We want Tah Jesus to run the ball
We want Tah Jesus to run the ball
Let him run
Let him run
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run, let Dub-J run the ball out on the field
Let him run
If you too feel that Waratah Jesus is deserving of this opportunity, then make sure you join the team and sing our petition at change.org here. It’s time for the injustice to end.
