Talk is cheap, Wallabies - but we'll back you

Having lost eight straight matches to the mighty All Blacks, there is very little left to say for a proud rugby nation. Staring down the barrel of tonight’s match in Christchurch, the Wallabies yesterday held a press conference to tell everyone that they still believe they can do it – win one match against New Zealand, that is.

It’s easy to forget that in world rugby circles, the Wallabies still rank third. Yet here we are, week after week, carrying on like the minnows of the sport, having to defend our position due to endless defeat at the hands of Goliath.


And at a time like this, talk is cheap. You’ve either got ‘the stones’ as they say, or you don’t.


One could draw comparison to the rugby league state of origin series, where New South Wales has failed to win in 5 consecutive attempts, making what once was an unpredictably competitive clash into a competition to generate excuses and conjecture as to why this particular match was lost.


But when the tough get going, words are cheap. So to my beloved Wallabies, it’s time to shut up and suck it in. We’ll back you. Let’s face it – you’re chances aren’t good in Christchurch either but you’ve got to get on with the job. Let’s not forget that Aussies love an underdog – so we’ll be there when you stick to the man.
