.....what a contrived pathetic pain. I hope we don't have to watch this puerile emotional nonsense in the RC.

are you referring to the English? I have just painfully watched 30 minutes of the English hailing the English on Skype Sport following their win.

 Do you mean the acknowledgement of the traditional owners ? Small tribute to those who had land and family taken from them .

The fact that Mozart hasn't responded to our queries about what he means once again proves that he only ever reads his own posts & ignores everyone else

 I'm referring to the additional ritual we have to go through at the start of the Aussie tests where " local" people go through a bunch of politically correct stuff...last week for quite a long time while the players wait. I'm guessing this was inspired by the no racism  in soccer campaign we saw at the WC.
There is a time and place for this message , the start of a rugby test is not that time.

 Educate yourself Mozart ,it has great meaning for indigenous people ,like my wife for one .The 'message ' is one of welcome to the land by those who have a connection to it ,it is older than all the national anthems for starters and for Indigenous Australians has as much meaning .If you dont like it dont watch it .It costs very little to acknowledge something like this other than patience .You would rightfully castigate me were I to spit on your national anthem or call for it to be removed as both have great cultural significance to their owners.
