The History of Wallabies Rugby

 

 

The Australian national rugby union team is the representative side of Australia in rugby union. Nicknamed the Wallabies or currently the Qantas Wallabies for sponsorship reasons, the team represents Australia at international rugby union competitions, including the Rugby World Cup and the Tri Nations

 

 

The nickname Wallabies is a reference to the Wallaby, a marsupial that is widely distributed throughout Australia

 

 

The Wallabies usually play at Telstra Stadium where they hold the stadium record of 109,874 spectators in a test-match against the All Blacks in Sydney

 

 

The largest winning margin for the Wallabies was produced at the 2003 World Cup, in which they defeated Namibia 142 points to nil during the pool stages, the match is also the largest number of points scored by Australia
