Johnnie Wallace (23)
I have to say that as a rugby fan this makes me feel pretty sad. This is a bloke who's been the best in his position consistently for years (and one of the best in his position -ever-). The kind of player that opposition fans, coaches, commentators and players all have a great respect for. This should've been this high point of his career and, being honest, he deserved it. It's a shame that the four-year rugby cycle means that when people look back on his career they might think he never reached the summit of the game, when he's really been there for a long time.
Of course a Wallabies fan, I'm glad this gives us a bit more of a chance to win. I don't think I'd be alone in saying I would've preferred a semi-final victory against a Carter and McCaw led All Blacks given the choice.
There is the little matter of a quarter final first.
