There once was a time where I could talk about the Wallabies without receiving a dirty sideways look from social groups I know in my own country.
My father is a New Zealander and I’m Australian, which makes for interesting lounge-room sitting as the two teams enter war, as this is what it feels like with my father.
But never in my life would I expect Australians I know and don’t know to actually express the opinion, “I hope the Wallabies lose!”
Has the code war gone so far that some Australians barrack for the opposing teams? Is this classed as Australian or un-Australian?
As much as I may not follow AFL, league, cricket or football, I truly hope that Australia, in all forms of sports, win internationally.
Has Australia, in sporting terms, divided into separate countries?
