Hmm, I don't think the members of the Kookaburras look much like girls. And if we are questioning the masculinity of certain sports people, lets take a look at some popular North American sports. Gridiron - kind of like rugby (the sport played in heaven) but strangely ritualised and with all that pansy padding and helmets. Shrunken testicles anyone? Ooh, and lets see what else. Baseball? What the hell is with those pants? Strongly influenced by gay fashion methinks.

You want real sports played by real men, come to the southern hemisphere.

Down here in the southern hemisphere, terms like "armour" and "padding" are looked upon as a sign of weakness.

REAL men play games that can result in SERIOUS injury - broken arms and legs, torn tendons, even the odd spinal injury.

And do they moan about the risk? Do they dress up in fancy protection? NO, they grit their teeth against the pain, get up and play on!

Hey, don't look at me! My sport in high school was judo -- and we weren't considered real jocks.

Amen from the Northern Hemisphere...

Is this a good time to mention the fact that Scotland beat the Wallabies (for the first time in 29 years)?
