WATCH: Former Wallabies' lock brought to tears after being reunited with his World Cup medal
- 3360
Nearly 20 years on from his regrettable "Muhammad Ali moment", former Wallaby Justin Harrison was brought to tears by a special gift.
After the 2003 Rugby World Cup, which Australia last, Harrison made an impulsive decision that he came to regret. Following the defeat to England, Harrison pulled out his runners’ up medal at the Cargo Bar in Darling Harbour and hurled it into the harbour.
Harrison has regretted his decision since, especially after having kids who he wished to pass the medal on to.
Ahead of the Australia's third test against England, RFU president Jeff Blackett surprised Harrison with a replacement medal in a set-up moment captured by the Stan Sport cameras.
Watch the clip below:
This is so precious. 😭
