For the record, I continue to be a fan of the Wallabies, in spite of the ARU/RA's virulent hostility towards the WA Rugby Community. So the loss at the weekend hurt, as did the two earlier losses to New Zealand. However, I will not support the ARU/RA, especially in the form which they appear to best understand, namely financial support; as an example, for the first time in more than a decade, I and my guests did not attend the Bledisloe Cup test in Sydney this year.
