text: are australians the best rugby players? can you see them play in america? australia certainly is just as good as the best in the world, i would always place a bet on their abilities to beat everyone, i would rate them on par with new zealand and south africa, slightly above england, ireland and france.  maybe on cable you will be able to watch the greatest game in the world.... australia vs the springboks. it is just a pitty that the avarage yank can't see it!!
