Dear Powdies One other point - The accusation that the Australians are playing rough reminds me of the 2006 soccer World Cup. Australia was about to play Japan, whose coach remarked that Australians had been playing roughly, as if the referee should pay extra attention to those awful Australians. The former convict colony won 3-1, but not without what many Ozzes saw as harsh umpiring against us. (See http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/world_cup_2006/4852706.stm) t
