The time has come for an Aussie team to stand up. So far this season everything has turned to shit, rusted on fans are depressed, less strongly attached fans are disappearing, the press are burying us, the opposition are mouthing things about tough opposition that you can see they don't believe, even the players look like they don't expect to win.
Last year wasn't brilliant, but the Brumbies started with some pretty good wins, the Rebels pulled off a couple of surprises, and as the season wore on the Tahs started to loo competitive. This year, five rounds (plus 1 game) in and absolutely nothing.
The Tahs can change all that tonight. Someone needs to be saying to them, guys, this is more than this round, this is about starting the turn off the bottom for Aus rugby. It's gotta come from somewhere, why not tonight!!
