Is it just me or does Australia have the poorest performance when picking Rugby Team names??
I mean look at our Super 14 teams - we have a flower, a colour (with a cuddly animal as the symbol), an introduced pest and a noun/verb (albeit a POWERFUL noun/verb!)
In SA they have 4 fearsome animals and a powerful menacing weather phenomenon!
In NZ they have 2 spurious references to historic Britain (once again powerful and meanacing however), another weather pattern, a local reference to strong indigenous leadership and............a colour (oh well 4 from 5 ain't bad)
Even our national side gets a cute and cuddly marsupial! - and not even the largest variety at that. (although NZ gets another colour reference and SA has probaly the bottom of the food chain in the safari park!)
Don't know much about the team names for the NH but I think the Poms copped a pretty garden flower and the Frogs get (yet another!) colour.
Just a bit of fun.........
