After Australia's World Cup win over Denmark, Bailey Wright revealed that his Mother-in-Law died late on Thursday, just hours after full time. He dedicated the victory to her, as well as his wife.
DEDICATED WIN
“I’ve just come in from a message from my wife. I just want to dedicate this to my wife, bless her, and her mum. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure if she’s still with us. It was, for them, a really tough time back home, but ultimately, it made this possible for me to be here and live one of my dreams so I dedicate that to Tammy. I hope she’s still with us."
DIDN'T TELL ANYONE
"No one knows. That’s something I’ve kept to myself; we’ve all got a lot going on. Job to do, isn’t it? You’ve got to be professional all the time."
TOGETHER
"When we set out on this journey four years ago, Arnie (Arnold) said to us what he wanted us to be about — our mateship and togetherness is what’s going to make us create history. It’s 11 brothers out there, whoever comes on, and it’s pretty special to be part of that. When you’re part of something like that, it’s difficult to really actually put it into words, what it feels like. It’s a real feeling. A few of us have said now that that feeling kind of won the game today."
