GUEST,John Gray in Oz BS: Rugby World Cup - Corrections (16) BS: Rugby World Cup - Corrections 23 Nov 03


A couple of corrections to comments in the Rugby World Cup thread.
McGrath - It was not that Australia decided not to go with Waltzing Matilda, it was the rugby governing body who would not permit it as it is "not our national anthem." Their decision was correct, although a lot of us didn't like it.>br>
Ard Mhacha - I gather your view is that only heavyweight boxers are "decent" boxers and, as such, Australia hasn't had any boxers of note. Of course I disagree with your view and list the following Oz world champion boxers, in date order ; Jimmy Carruthers, Lionel Rose, Johnny Famechon, Rocky Mattioli, Lester Ellis, Geoff Fenech, Barry Michael, Jeff Harding & Kostya Tszyu.
Fenech was a world champion in the different weight divisions, is that "decent" enough for you.

All in all, well done England, well played, you did your country proud.
