The 2 biggest international sports in AUstralia are cricket and rugby and those are the main sports i care about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2006 The Australian Rugby team isnt in much better shape. We had a draw against Walse recently on only just managed to beat Ireland. I fear that if we get a match against the All Blacks they will massacre us. All blacks are by far the best team at the moment. Wales are doing pretty well too. In fact currently I dont think England are a match for Wales or France, and we're probably below scotland and ireland too. Its embarrassing, especially as we've just rebuilt a huge stadium at twickenham! Aussies are going to love it next year when we lose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a chant still used a lot at rugby matches over here. Taken over as a sort of catchphrase by the woefully unfunny Welsh "comedian" Max Boyce in the 70s.
