Life after tsunami lends perspective to Scott Fardy

Scott Fardy was faced with a stark choice when the tsunami hit the coast of Japan in March 2011.

Safely inland when the water surged ashore, Fardy was told the Australian government would evacuate him as soon as possible.

He refused. Fardy had built too strong a bond with Kamaishi, the town where he had lived and played rugby for two years, to leave in their hour of need.
