Wallabies 2020

[Tex]

Well, after that draw the odds for a NZ win have spiralled out of control from the frankly arrogant 1.08 to a much more balanced 1.13.

What's the line betting?

If he builds a winning culture he can call it anything he likes, as far as I am concerned. In fact, we can change the name of the colour!!! It would be a very small price to pay.

Culture is an interesting word here. The jersey is not yellow it is gold.

I suspect you may be being tongue in cheek yourself - but that is certainly a different response to the last time I recall someone referring to the jersey as yellow in a press conference. I believe some suggested he should be banished forever for that alone.

(For the record I am not the least bit bothered by it).

Do I recall correctly that Deans and Cheika both won their first game in charge of the Wallabies against the ABs? Memory a little hazy.

Yes. That is correct.

Yep. Then again, I am a lot older than most (if not all) hereabouts: which means that I have seen a lot more AB victories!
So I don't give a stuff how he builds a winning culture, as long as he does. The correct name of the jersey colour is the least of my problems.

Let's call it by it's official name, Pantone 116C.

Ah, let’s not. Gold please.

Though, is it just me, or is it looking closer to that egg yolk gold of the late 80s early 90s? I loved that gold shade so much.

And did I hear correctly, that Scott Johnson wants to get back to that shade as well?

OK. Time to rename the forum.

Canary Yellow?

 

[dru]

Canary Yellow?

Not really. It’s a kind of “gold” yellow.

Canary Yellow?

<Bill Lawry> That's Aussie gold mate and don't you bloody forget it </Bill Lawry>

 

[Hardtackle]

I had an ear bashing from a Kiwi once about yellow not gold. He wasn't so buoyant with my change of silver fern to white feather.

 

[Penguin]

Ah, let’s not. Gold please.

But gold glitters. If we were to really wear gold the jerseys should shimmer like Kylie Minogue's hotpants.

But it's actually wattle gold, the colour of our national flower, the one that gives thousands hay fever every year and is a brilliant yellow in full bloom.

Just saying it can be construed any which way. It's when it's disrespected as canary yellow I take offence.

At home. They both got toweled up a few weeks later in New Zealand (Deans 39-10, Cheika 41-13). If you compare Rennie to that, a draw looks much more favourable.

It used to be a different colour and then the Australian national colours were standardised in 1984 and at different times from that point Australian sporting teams all adopted those specific tones of the colours.

I would doubt Johnson would have any ability to change the colours we are wearing.

 

[Joe King]

Who is in charge of altering the shade? Does RA get a say?

Exactly. We can't read too much into one win. Next game will be the real test.
