Yes, Gareth, anything but "Waltzing Matilda." It's is possibly the worst thing Banjo Paterson ever wrote. I've had it right up to here.

How nuch chance is there for a country where a major national hero is a stock theif, bank robber, and murderer, and the national song is about the suicide of a sheep thief?

I don't think we're arrogant, either. I'm not sure that really applies to England, but they do annoy me when they try to say that what they are playing is good rugby. I hope we win on Saturday, just to see if Clive Woodward can be made to admit that somebody really is better than England. Be just too bad if we win on goal kicks.
