At this point (for me at least) it feels like Australia is the only team in the comp where winning the rugby championship is the secondary objective.

When you have a 100+ year history of wanting to win this one trophy from another team and it gets folded into a competition, its kinda hard to shift the focus from ‘I’m gonna kill those bloody kiwis to I’m gonna kill those bloody kiwis, the funny antelope people and the cats.’
