Bring on the Wallabies.

You Australian chaps seem to be having a few wee problems in relation to your national rugby team just at this moment.

A draw against Wales. This morning's loss to Ireland. Then - lo and behold - who should you be coming up against this weekend at Murrayfield? Why, the Scots.

Now I would normally be approaching such a match with a little bit of trepidation (and to be honest, I still am a little nervous). We don't have a great recent record of defeating the might of the Wallabies at home (or abroad for that matter!). But if it's going to happen, it will be happening this Saturday. Let's see if the uncapped Rory Lawson can follow in his old man's footsteps.

Of course between now and then I've got a bit of a shindig to organise. Thankfully it looks like it won't be snowing down here in Melbourne on Wednesday evening. I'd better go and pick up the kilt from the drycleaners...
