[QUOTE="Wizard From Oz, post: 230100"] Is there really a need to standardise symbols? Very few Australian teams playing internationally wear either the Kangaroo or the Wallabies as their team symbol. How can this not be about racism, if it wasn't they would be receptive to changing all the other sports teams to the Springboks - But we know that aint gonna happen. Sure I can see some people wanting to identify the Springboks with some of the troubles that have befallen South Africa. But you know what - Rugby and the Springboks were around long before those events. And I kinda like watching the Wallabies and the Springboks - makes my day [/QUOTE]
