Tom Cusack's life flashed before his eyes when he took a moment to think about who his heroes were.

His wife and parents came to mind on a personal note, but then the ACT Brumbies flanker thought about the Super Rugby stars from his childhood.
"Who were my heroes? Players like Joe Roff and George Smith, that era," Cusack smiled.
"They were so successful from a rugby perspective."
That was just one question thrown to Cusack and Brumbies coach Dan McKellar, who spent their Wednesday night speaking with more than 60 club members via an online forum.
The Brumbies are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to keeping their fans engaged during the coronavirus shutdown.
McKellar built community work into the playing squad's schedules during the pre-season, in a concerted effort to reconnect with kids, families and corporates of Canberra.
But the club has had change tactics due to social distancing regulations, with Wednesday's member forum the first of many going forward.
"Something we've been pushing since the first day of pre-season is our engagement with the community. As a club we need to stay connected with members, supporters, sponsors and key stakeholders," McKellar said.
"At the moment we've got to use technology. Zoom is something I never knew existed two to three weeks ago, but I've spent nearly everyday on it since.
"It's the sort of platform you've got to take advantage of to stay connected with people who are on board, and that includes members.
"It was a really good initiative to have Tom and I answering their questions on Wednesday night. It was worthwhile, there were some really good questions sent in and it provided a bit of an insight into what we've been doing since the Waratahs game.
"I think it'll be an ongoing thing while we can't have direct contact with people. It'll keep the members well informed."

The Brumbies are planning to host the members forums frequently after the success of the first meeting.
They'll change the players and staff involved each meeting to make sure fans get to speak with their favourites, or target certain questions.
Many members had queries about the future of this year's Super Rugby competition and the player's pay-cut agreement.
Rugby Australia and the Rugby Union Players Association have been negotiating the short-term deal for three weeks, with a resolution not expected until Monday.
Scott Sio is the Brumbies' RUPA delegate so while the forum gave Cusack the opportunity to speak candidly as a player, he could not answer all the member's concerns.
"We're hoping something does come out soon," Cusack said.
"It's frustrating at the moment, you watch other codes presenting ideas of when they're actually going to resume playing and we haven't come to an agreement on this.
"But in saying that, it gives the playing group a lot of comfort knowing they're doing their due diligence to make sure it's the right decision and not a rash one, that it's one with a lot of thought behind it and considers aspects of rugby and life."
