Or else
you're an Aussie who's still smarting about the rugby. Come on, which

is
it?


**No decent, honest Aussie is smarting about the Rugby. Not one of us
(Aussies) ever expected Australia to make it through to the finals. Even
fewer of us thought the match would go to extra time. Both teams played
brilliantly and neither Australians, nor the Poms need be ashamed of the
result. Australians cheered the Poms as much as they cheered the Georgians
(Aussies love underdogs) and their own team. Did you notice the rioting,
pillaging and burning of cars in the streets, after the match?

Hint: You didn't, because it never happened. Aussies went away smiling,
because their own team put their hearts and souls into the effort to win.

I know Trevor - I was just looking for a reaction from our friend. It was a
great (if nail-biting at the end) match and the Aussies were very gracious
in defeat - even Campese who had to walk up and down Oxford Street with a
sandwich board saying the Poms were the better team.

Unfortunately for us our national game is football (soccer) and we don't
often get the chance to cheer on real sportsmen; no doubt we'll be living on
this success for years to come!
