    Great essay, apart from the Mungo-bashing Beav.

    Jonah Lomu and John Eales were truly great players but the greatest hero ever to be a Wallaby was, without question, Weary Dunlop.

    Sure Weary Dunlop was the greatest HERO to ever play the game, but to a high school student i can see why those two (Lomu and Eales)mean so much to him, brilliant essay mate, just go and read up on Weary Dunlop for the lads so you will understand why they, and myself, regard him as the ultimate HERO....But keep your choices mate, just expand them to include one more, which you will after you read about Weary...

    To tell you the truth I've never heard of the bloke.

    Wikipedia wouldn't lead me astray.

    Considering your age and the fact that it's not his rugby prowess that he's most famous for, it's not surprising. He's a bona fide national hero though and maybe that lends some support to the Prime Minister's view that Aussie History should be better taught in our schools.
