This is a biased look at Rugby (from a Gamma point of view...hence the fuschia) and I make no apologies for that. Go The Wallabies! Go The Brumbies!...and ouch...Stephen Larkham...

The Wallabies: As You've Never Seen Them Before.

Behind the scenes with the Wallabies on their World Cup Tour diary
Behind the scenes...


I found this a while ago when it was still...um...undiscovered. I wrote about it elsewhere, didn't want to write about it here. Why? Well...see...when I found it, it was still 'interactive'. So I interacted. And then I got embarrassed.


It's no longer instantaneously interactive (and evidence of my interaction has been erased) so...now I can share it with you.

THE WORLD RUGBY TOUR HAS BEEN SET UP AS A NON PROFIT BLOG BY WALLABIES FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF RUGBY FANS IN AUSTRALIA AND ABROAD.
THIS BLOG WILL INCLUDE EXCLUSIVE HOME VIDEOS, TRAINING FOOTAGE, PHOTOS, INTERVIEWS AND JOURNALS FROM AUSTRALIA'S LEADING RUGBY PLAYERS OVER THE COURSE OF THE WORLD CUP IN FRANCE.
ENJOY

Oh...and I'm sure regular readers of this blog can guess exactly which post I 'interacted' with.


It's great to see their 'raw' footage and read their words. Why I say "great" because nowadays The Wallabies as individuals are so far removed from public view, it's weird and feels strangely intimate to see them as they really are.

Just normal boys and men...funny, witty, charming, fun-loving guys who happen to play at the elite level of their chosen sport. Really what struck me was...how innocent and 'fresh' they are. Yes, a strange choice of adjectives but, what I have always maintained is that Rugby teaches humility...it's a team sport...you're only as good as the people around you.

Read some of the post entries...there's an ongoing saga about Al 'The Fuse' Baxter with a really funny dead-pan 'retelling of the myth' by Matt Giteau. And do not miss watching the video clip: 'Farewell, Travel and Surfing in Lagos'.
Especially the farewell part at the start, which was filmed right after The Wallabies Public Farewell in Sydney.

There's also weekly polls. The current one is;

Which Wallaby would you most like to go out with your sister?
a) Stephen Hoiles
b) Stephen Moore
c) Stephen Larkham
d) David lyons

Guess who's leading?

Most importantly, you can send your messages of support to The Wallabies at:
wallabies8@gmail.com


It's the real deal sportsfans. And now that we're getting to the business end of things, more than ever our team needs us.

That's right.
The Wallabies need Australia.

Once. Just once.
(I'm kinda worried that they can track their traffic...)
