Cant really add anymore to the thread than that.
Like i said initially. Anything that respectfully highlights our indigenous heritage for an international audience is absolutely OK by me.
Personally I wouldn't lose any sleep if it was made permanent and then possibly changed to drawings from a different geographical location annually. But that's just me; probably a bit too progressive for the ARU.
I think it livens up the jersey, without taking away from it still being a gold wallaby jersey - on some of the forwards there is a lot of gold(yellow if you read the roar) and it's nice to see it changed up
from wiki's list of indigenous Austrlian Sportspeople.
the differential between Union and some of the other sports is staggering when you look at it in a list

Speaking of Mungos; I know Wikipedia is not a reliable resource. And I know he's low profile and all, but how could they omit GIGSY's favourite Mungo - Wendell.

Jim Williams was a number 8 - I think he scored a try for the Australia A vs British and Irish Lions At Gosford. But I had a few by then.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Speaking of merchandise, here's a rather strange Western Force training shirt I have purchased off eBay to be an obscure part of my collection. It is not listed as being part of any of the official training or supporters range, so I can only assume it was a rejected prototype, and I can't blame them for rejecting it, in the design sense.
Hopefully we'll be staying in competition, otherwise I'm calling it my "Force going down in flames" shirt...
