Another waltz with the Wallabies

I have learned through harsh experience that every Australian side will fight to the death.

THOSE damned Wallabies. From start to finish they seemed to dominate my rugby career. In all between playing and managerial assignments our paths collided on 17 occasions. More often than not, it ended in despair for me.

At a time when custom dictated you were rested on the Saturday before your first cap, I broke tradition and lined out against the tourists for Munster five days before my international debut.
