Wycliffe Palu and the Wallaby mob are getting quite a bit of highlighting by Fox TV. Fox are doing a “men of gold” as part of their rugby promotional work. ‘Ofa and Dad would have bought Fox TV anyway, but its interesting to see how much Fox is actually investing in Rugby (where would Super 14 be without them.)

Last night’s segment asked some of the players what was their superstition, or thing they do before every game. The initial response was a continuation of their interview with winger … who was man of the match in last week’s Australia versus France game.

Aaahh, basically if they won the previous week, he’d repeat the same he did the day they won. Which must not have been that often in this year’s Queensland season (ba boom)

Brett Sheehan said he wears the same under-wear each game, which must have been a lark, because his years in the game would have worn those poor things out ten times. Or, if we were family he’s getting paid well enough that we burn his underdaks every week.

Luke Burgess says he takes 3 showers that morning, which doesn’t sound so bad, not for hygiene reasons, but because other elite players have said the same thing. But in their case they expanded that this time was spent visualising their motions and actions through the full game. Woo hoo, is that what he’s doing ? And what is the Sydney Water Board doing about that ?? Don’t we have some sort of water shortage here?
