To all Aussies:

Green and Gold Malaria

The day would soon arrive when I could not ignore the rash.

I was obviously ill and so I called on Doctor Nash.

This standard consultation would adjudicate my fate.

I walked into his surgery and gave it to him straight:

`Doc, I wonder if you might explain this allergy of mine,

I get these pins and needles running up and down my spine.

From there, across my body, it will suddenly extend -

My neck will feel a shiver and the hairs will stand on end.

And then there is the symptom that only a man can fear -

A choking in the throat, and the crying of a tear.'

Well, the Doctor scratched his melon with a rather worried look.

His furrowed brow suggested that the news to come was crook.

What is it Doc?' I motioned. `Have I got a rare disease?

I'm man enough to cop it sweet, so give it to me, please.'

`I'm not too sure,' he answered, in a puzzled kind of way.

`You've got some kind of fever, but it's hard for me to say.

When is it that you feel this most peculiar condition?'

I thought for just a moment, then I gave him my position:

`I get it when I'm standing in an Anzac Day parade,

And I get it when the anthem of our native land is played,

And I get it when Meninga makes a Kiwi-crunching run,

And when Border grits his teeth to score a really gutsy ton.

I got it back in '91 when Farr-Jones held the Cup,

And I got it when Japan was stormed by Better Loosen Up.

I get it when the Banjo takes me down the Snowy River,

And Matilda sends mew altzing with a billy-boiling shiver.

It hit me hard when Sydney was awarded the Games,

And I get it when I see our farmers fighting for their names.

It flattened me when Bertrand raised the boxing kangaroo,

And when Perkins smashed the record, well, the rashes were true blue.

So tell me, Doc,' Iq uestioned. `Am I really gonna die?'

He broke into a smile before he looked me in the eye.

As he fumbled with his stethoscope and pushed it out of reach,

He wiped away a tear and then he gave me this stirring speech:

`From the beaches here in Queensland to the sweeping shores of Broome,

On the Harbour banks of Sydney where the waratah's in bloom.

From Uluru at sunset to the Mighty Tasman Sea,

In the Adelaide cathedrals, at the roaring MCG.

From the Great Australian Bight up to the Gulf of Carpentaria,

The medical profession call it "green and gold malaria".

But forget about the text books, son, the truth I shouldn't hide.

The rash that you'vec ontracted here is "good old Aussie pride".

I'm afraid that you were born with it and one thing is for sure -

ou'll die with it, young man, because there isn't any cure.

Come on you Wallabies !!!

Really dont care who wins, just show ya pride!

I know that The Fernhurst is - but that's not the same really. That might help you though.

ROVERS FOREVER

Part of me wants a thrilling open game with lots of tries and England to win say 50 to 45.

The other part wants Wilkinson to get a drop kick goal in the last minute to win it by the only score. I think I want to hear all the winging from a bunch of sorry Aussies who've been giving it large here all week.

[TAFFBOY RETURNS]

Blueboy i do know how you are feeling, although not with this match obviously, I remember that at the quarter final stage i was nauseous on tuesday 5 days before we played you lot. Still say if we had a bit more experience it would have been a Wales France semi. By the way tris there is a higher amount of englishmen being caught shagging sheep than Welsh, so really England if you are going to do something like this don't get caught.Anyway good luck England, god i feel dirty after saying that.

[rover6]

There really is a case for Rovers English/Aussie players to not watch the match. Bath rugby team have been ordered not to watch the game as they'll be 'emotionally drained' for the afternoon kick off. So should we bearing in mind...

Todd, Short, Flitcroft, Reid (he's English and you know it), Jansen, Neill and Emerton - will all be emotionally involved in the game and have to trot out to play Man U afterwards.

[Flopsy]

I doubt Neill will be, Im sure he'll be in the bar getting rat arsed (hopefully drowning his sorrows)

[dave birch]

Weather in Sydney at the moment.....

overcast, persissting down, cool about 17-18c, no wind to speak of

Story in tomorrow's papers saying the Rovers' English and Aussie players have been enjoying a bit of banter this week and will be glued to the telly for the match.

To judge from  some of the quotes, Neill sounds a real pain in the arse. I'm surprised he has so much to say the way he has been playing this season.

[USABlue]

With some of his tackling and  the red cards he's got jim perhaps rugger is something he should think about.

Meanwhile Brad is trying to figure out why they arent padded up, and wearing helmets.
