  The Roar - Your Sports Opinion — Authority: 456
  What a disheartening year 2009 has been. The difference from past years is not the fact that the Wallabies have ridden a roller coaster of late. Rather, it is my indifference to the June tests that worries me. It is an indifference that is shared across a wide range of fellow rugby tragics. Each Sunday morning I ...
