Rugby World Cup team profile - Australia

In this lull before the Rugby World Cup, I have decided to follow the lead of fellow esteemed bloggers and publish my thoughts on each top ten team heading into the World Cup Competition and what I think their chances are. Here are my thoughts on Australia:

Current World Rank: 2!

Random cliché: Only fools would write off the Wallabies - those buggers fight to the death...

Murray Mexted likely to say: "There's nothing that a tight forward likes more than a loosie right up his backside"

Stephen Jones did say: the Wallabies were again unconvincing in the scrum and were never ruthless enough

Main headlines of the local rag when they lose: 'What's rugby and who cares'

Glamour boy of the team: Matt Dunning

Greatest Moment in last four years: Beating the All Blacks in the 2007 Tri Nations

Weakest Moment: The Australian front row for the last four years.

Redeeming features: George Gregan and his constant handy hints to the referree

Weak link: Matt Dunning

Incumbent star: Stirling Mortlock (or as NZers like to call him 'that bloody Mortlock again')

Rising star: Adam Ashley-Cooper
