All Blacks and Hurricanes hooker Dane Coles says it was an awesome feeling to put the Hurricanes jersey back on and it means a lot to him to wear the jersey.
Coles who was making a comeback after a four month injury lay off says he thought that it was something that had been taken away from him.
For the man widely acknowledged as the best hooker in the game, and certainly its most expressive, there was a new appreciation for this thing he does for a living.
Coles adds there is definitely a new appreciation and just to cherish these moments a bit more and never take it for granted.
The Hurricanes will play the Lions at 12.30am this Sunday in their Super Rugby semifinal match while the Crusaders will play the Chiefs at 7.35pm Saturday.
