Wallabies Face A Century Of Losses

Wallabies face a century of losses ...

THERE would be only one thing worse than Australia becoming the first side in history to lose 100 Tests to another nation - New Zealand - and that would be achieving that ignominious distinction twice.

The All Blacks landed in Brisbane last night hoping to celebrate not one but two centuries in tomorrow night's Bledisloe Cup Test against the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium.

The first is a certainty, providing hooker Keven Mealamu does not trip over a television cable while running on to the ground for his 100th cap for New Zealand.

The second will be trickier, even allowing for the All Blacks' astonishing run of 17 straight victories since they last visited Brisbane.

But if New Zealand wins, it will become the first country to register a century of victories over a particular rival, in this instance Australia. Even the Scots, who have been losing to England since 1872, haven't been cleaned up so regularly.

The Wallabies are ranked second in the world, and they are the most recent team to defeat the Darkness.

So, I guess they are still better than all the other teams going around at the moment.

Yes indeed, they are still number 2. But don't write them off today, they do best when they are up against it.

Does anyone know how you can see the game online ? Thanks

A very gutsy performance by the Wobblies. This has been a terrible season for injuries, there have been no fewer than 12 debutant players this year because of the number of players who have been unavailable, no fewer than three captains (Horwill, Pocock, and Genia), and other integral members of the team like Cooper, Stephen Moore, Kepu - who played last night, and also Palu ditto - Ben Alexander, James O'Connor, and the list goes on.

but for sure they won't cry like little girls and blame unfair tactics when they lose again
