Bernard Foley was only 14 when his father sneaked out of hospital shortly after open heart surgery to watch his son play. What neither of them expected was they would both end up back in the same hospital that night. ‘My Dad had a leakage and needed open heart surgery,’ said Foley, now Australia’s fly-half and one of the stars of the World Cup. ‘He has been at virtually every game I’ve ever played and he coached me for a number of years.
