The Wallabies’ pioneers first XV (1899-1919)

The great Australian openside debate: Round 2

Rarely does a moment pass in modern life without a live sporting event on the telly. There is always something to watch, somewhere in the world. Here in the UK, it could be overnight ping-pong or kabaddi, or Aussie rules at dawn, or a Premier League soccer centrepiece as the daylight begins to ebb away.
