All you need to do to mantain it is checking the oil
All you need to do to mantain it is checking the oil
Cool, but looks kinda empty on a white shirt
haha nice machinery there, is it gas powered? :)
nice work there. if it wins, the print should be bigger so it's more to scale with what's going on inside.
and is that battery supposed to be the liver? if so.. that's pretty sweet, considering the liver provides energy for the rest of the body. no spleen?
I don't mind the colours, it's subtle - but works nicely...
nice execution.
i too, have bionic insides.
i'm with naisatoh in that 1) this is a really cool shirt and 2) it needs to be a little bit larger
I second Brett F.'s second. This shirt is a great design!
Sorry, I forgot: I do think that it needs to be on something other than white, but on the blue especially, it looks great!
i like it in red
This is a great design, I agree that the colors are a bit off right now.
if it was not on white, I would buy it for sure
oh never mind.. love it and willing to buy it!
Very nice, but I'd take the halftoners away.
Yeah, would prefare it without the half tone background. Really great illustration and concept though. I like it on the red best because it reminds me of human organs more O_o
i like everything exept the blue background.
awesome but don't like on white ;)
Interesting, but this is begging for color. And ditch the halftone circle in the back.
I think the circle looks good on the blue version, but I definitely don't thinks it works on the red.
no halftones.
the halftones aren't needed at all. Distracts from the awesome design.
This works so well on any color except white. How cool would this be if the white color was printed in metallic silver?
I would resub this as soon as possible on without the halftones. With Metallic silver instead of white. Make the blue outlines something like a dark grey. And make the print a LITTLE smaller so that it doesn't go over any seams and would be no larger than 16" tall.
But, that's just me...
I'm giving it a 3 as is. But if you did those things I really think it would be a FIVE! +$
thanks for your comments, i shuold have uploaded it to the Critiques before, i hope threadless let me resub this one.
yeah, drop that halftone behind it. pretty cool.
def. without halftones, cool concept! :)
looks good on red. nice shirt.
really nice, i especially enjoy the concept
SUPER concept, but I want more color
love. deff on the red
I like the concept too. People do "mechanical organs" from time to time but they never seem to "click" with me. Hmm.
Definitely would look better on a red or dark blue shirt. Nice concept and design.
$5 and maybe a buy...
This is really well drawn... but did I miss some sort of internal organ contest? Otherwise 5
Hooray for red tees! And the design is awesome, too.
i've definately rated at least two more things like this today
this is my fave, though

The Australian national rugby union team is the representative side of Australia in rugby union. The national team is nicknamed the Wallabies and competes annually with Argentina, New Zealand, and South Africa in the The Rugby Championship, in which they also contest the Bledisloe Cup with New Zealand and the Mandela Challenge Plate with South Africa. Australia are currently ranked third in the IRB World Rankings .[1][2]
Australia have competed in all seven Rugby World Cups, and have won the World Cup on two occasions, in 1991 against England, and in 1999 against France. Australia also lost in the final after extra time to England in the 2003 competition.[3] Australia are governed by the Australian Rugby Union (ARU). Eleven former Australian players have been inducted into either the International Rugby Hall of Fame or the IRB Hall of Fame. Three are members of the International Hall only, four are members of the IRB Hall only (one of whom was recognised for non-playing accomplishments in the sport), and four are members of both Halls of Fame.
In 1883 the Southern Rugby Football Union (renamed the New South Wales Rugby Union in 1892)[4] toured New Zealand becoming the first team in the world to tour overseas. The New Zealand national team toured New South Wales in 1884 – defeating New South Wales in all three matches, and winning all nine matches on tour.[5]
The first tour by a British team took place in 1888. A British Isles team toured Australia and New Zealand, though no Test matches were played.[6] Although they had representatives from all four home nations, the players were drawn mainly from England and the Scottish borders.[4] The tour was not sanctioned by the Rugby Football Union as it was organised by entrepreneurs and thus contravened the union's strict regulations pertaining to professionalism.
In 1899 the first officially sanctioned British Isles team toured Australia. Four Tests were played between Australia and the British Isles (three in Sydney and one in Brisbane, Queensland). Although all called "Australia", the teams were a representative of the colony in which the match was played. Accordingly the team wore the blue of New South Wales when playing in Sydney, and the maroon of Queensland when playing in Brisbane. The tourists won all their games except the first, which was played at the Sydney Cricket Ground and won 13–3 by Australia.[7]
Early 20th century[edit]
The first Test between Australia and New Zealand was played on 15 August 1903 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Despite Australia losing 22–3[8] this tour greatly increased the popularity of rugby and large crowds started attending grade matches in Sydney and Brisbane. New Zealand winger Billy Wallace scored 13 of their 22 points.
In 1907 the New South Wales Rugby League was formed and star player Dally Messenger left the Rugby union for the rival code.[9] The next year the first Australian team to tour the British Isles left Sydney under the name of 'Rabbits'.[10] The players thought this name derogatory and replaced it with 'Wallabies'.[11] The 1908 tour coincided with the London Olympic Games at which rugby union was contested. The Australian team won the gold medal by defeating Cornwall, the English county champions representing Great Britain.[12] When the team returned home more than half of them joined professional rugby league clubs.[13]
In 1909, when the new "Northern Union" code was still in its infancy in Australia, a match between the Kangaroos and the Wallabies was played before a crowd of around 20,000, with the Rugby League side winning 29–26.[14]
Australia's last Test before World War I was against New Zealand in July 1914. The war had a very negative effect on rugby union in Australia. The sports authorities decided it was unpatriotic to play rugby while thousands of young Australian men were being sent overseas to fight. This resulted in competitions all but closed down in New South Wales and Queensland. In Queensland regular competitions did not commence again until 1928. As a result players switched to rugby league in large numbers.
During the 1920s the only representative team available for international opponents was the New South Wales Waratahs; all thirty-nine internationals played by them in that period have since been accorded Test status. In 1921 South Africa visited Australia and New Zealand for the first time – winning all three tests in Australia. The most famous Waratahs' team was the 1927/28 Waratahs who toured the United Kingdom, France and Canada. They introduced a style of open, running rugby rarely seen before. They won 24 and drew two of their 31 official matches.
War hero Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop also played for Australia before World War II. He played on the side that was the first to win the Bledisloe Cup.[15]
The re-emergence of the Queensland Rugby Union in 1928/9 immediately made a forceful impact on the performances of the Australian team, which that year defeated New Zealand in all 3 Tests for the first time. In 1931, the then Governor General of New Zealand, Lord Bledisloe donated a rugby trophy to foster sporting ties between Australia and New Zealand. Bearing his name, the Bledisloe Cup was established. The inaugural competition was won by New Zealand two games to one.
Australia made their first tour to South Africa in 1933 for a four Test series, which was won by South Africa three games to one. Australia won the Bledisloe Cup for the first time in 1934. The tour of the 1939 Wallabies was cancelled as war was declared a day after the team arrived in England; two weeks later they returned home.
Post war[edit]
The first Test to following World War Two was played at Carisbrook, Dunedin between Australia and New Zealand in 1946, which New Zealand won 31–8. Australia did not win on the three match tour; beaten 20–0 by New Zealand Maori, and then losing 14–10 to the All Blacks the following week. Australia embarked on a tour of the home nations in 1947–48. In the four Tests against the Home Nations, the Australian try line was never crossed. The successful tour fell short of an undefeated run when the Australia lost to France in their last match, in Paris. Players on the rise included Trevor Allan, Cyril Burke and Nicholas Shehadie.[16]
After returning from the successful European tour, Australia hosted the New Zealand Maori in a three match series in 1949; both sides winning once, with one draw. In September of that year, Australia played the All Blacks twice in New Zealand, winning both games and taking back the Bledisloe Cup for the first time on New Zealand soil. The 'Number 1' All Black side was touring South Africa at the time and the wins by Australia against the B-team have sometimes been downgraded. However, in deference to the apartheid system then in operation in South Africa, the NZRU did not select any Maori players for the tour. Many of those regular All Black Maoris played against Australia instead and it could be said that the New Zealand team that played Australia was at least as good as the one on tour in South Africa. The British Isles toured Australia in 1950, and won both of the Tests against Australia. The following year Australia fell to a three Test whitewash to the All Blacks. Australia won in July 1952, defeating Fiji at the Sydney Cricket Ground – they then lost the second Test to Fiji by two points. Australia managed to beat the All Blacks at Lancaster Park after the Fijian series; however they lost the second Test.
In 1953 Australia toured South Africa for the second time and although they lost the series they were given a standing ovation after defeating South Africa 18–14 in the second Test at Newlands. Wallaby Captain John Solomon was carried off the field by two South African players. This was the first Springbok defeat for 15 years. On this tour they also drew against Rhodesia in Kitwe 8–8. In 1957–58 they became the only one of the southern hemisphere sides to have lost to all four Home Nations in one tour. They also lost to France on the same tour.
The first match of the new decade was the win over Fiji at the SCG in the first match of a three Test series during 1961. This was followed by a second win, but Fiji grabbed a draw in the third Test. Australia then headed to South Africa, where they lost to the Springboks in Port Elizabeth and Johannesburg. After returning home, they faced France at the SCG, who beat them 15–8.
In 1962, Australia played the All Blacks five times and lost all but a 9-all draw at Athletic Park. After defeating England 18–9 in 1963 in Sydney, Australia beat the Springboks in consecutive Tests in South Africa; the first team to do so since the 1896 British team.
Fewer tests were played throughout the mid-1960s, with Australia only playing the a three Test series against All Blacks in 1964. They won the third Test after losing the first two. The following year Australia hosted the Springboks for two Tests, winning 18–11 and 12–8. This was their first ever series win over South Africa and first over a major nation since 1934.
The British Isles came the following year, defeating Australia 11–8 at the SCG, before hammering them 31–0 in Brisbane. Australia left for Europe in that December where a 14–11 victory over Wales was followed by a slim 11–5 defeat of Scotland. The tour continued into the following year where Australia defeated England 23–11 before losing to Ireland 15–8 and France 20–14. Australia then hosted Ireland, who beat them again in Sydney. This was followed by a 20-point loss to the All Blacks. The following year, Australia lost to the All Blacks by just one point, and defeated France by the same margin for their last win of the decade. After losing to Ireland and Scotland on tour, Australia hosted Wales who also defeated them.
Australia played Scotland in 1970 and won by 20 points. The 1971 South African tour of Australia took place the next season. Protests were held around Australia and in Queensland a state of emergency was issued in advance of one of the Tests. Australia toured France in November of that year; defeating France in Toulouse, but losing the second Test in Paris. France then visited Australia in June 1972 and played a two Test series where they won one and drew one. Australia then played three Test series against the All Blacks in New Zealand—losing all three. They then stopped over in Suva to play Fiji on their return, where they won their only Test of the year.
The following year, Australia hosted Tonga, and after winning the first Test, they lost 11–16 at Ballymore in their second. Australia also had a short tour of the United Kingdom in November 1973 where they lost 24–0 to Wales, and 20–3 to England. In 1974, Australia hosted the All Blacks for a three Test series—losing two, but drawing in Brisbane.
In 1975 Australia defeated England in a two Test series at home. Australia then played Japan for the first time; defeating them by 30 points in the first of two matches, and then winning 50 to 25 in the second. They then travelled to the Northern hemisphere for matches against Scotland and Wales where they were not able to score a try in either of their losses. The tour of Britain and Ireland continued into 1976, and Australia lost to England at Twickenham, but were able to defeat Ireland at Lansdowne Road. On their way home Australia played one more match—in Los Angeles against the United States. Australia won 24–12. In June of that year, Australia hosted Fiji for a three Test series and won all three. Australia finished the year with their tour of Europe where the team played two Tests against France in France, but lost both of them. There were no Wallaby tests played in 1977.
Wales toured Australia in 1978, and Australia defeated them 18–8 at Ballymore, and then again by two points at the SCG. This was followed by a three match series with the All Blacks. Although New Zealand won the first two, Australia defeated them in the last Test at Eden Park with Greg Cornelsen scoring four tries. The following year Ireland visited Australia and defeated Australia in two Tests. Following this Australia hosted the All Blacks for a single Test at the SCG which Australia won 12–6. Australia then left for Argentina for two Tests. After going down 24–13 in the first, Australia finished the decade by defeating Argentina 17–12 in Buenos Aires.
In 1980 Australia won the Bledisloe Cup for only the fourth time—defeating New Zealand 2–1 in a three match series in Australia. This was the start of a successful era for Australia. In 1984 Australia toured the Home nations with a young side and new coach Alan Jones. The 1984 Wallabies became the first team from Australia to achieve a Grand Slam by defeating all four Home Nations, England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland as well as defeating a strong Barbarians side. The tour signalled the emergence of Australia as a serious force on the world stage. Many records were established on the tour including; 100 points being scored in the four Tests—the most scored by a touring team to the United Kingdom and Ireland, the first ever push-over try conceded by Wales in Cardiff, Mark Ella scoring a try in each match – a feat never before achieved.
In 1986 Australia toured New Zealand in a three match series for the Bledisloe Cup. New Zealand rugby was in turmoil as an unofficial team named The Cavaliers that contained the bulk of the All Blacks players toured South Africa. On return those All Blacks who had toured with The Cavaliers were banned from selection for the first Bledisloe Test. Australia went on to win the first match by 13–12. The ban on players was lifted for the second Test which was played on 23 August 1986 at Carisbrook. New Zealand squared the series 1–1 by winning the match 13–12. The match included controversy when Welsh referee Derek Bevan disallowed a try by Australia number eight Steve Tuynman. The final match was played on 6 September 1986 at Eden Park. Australia beat a full strength New Zealand team 22–9 to secure their first series win on New Zealand soil.
Australia went into the inaugural Rugby World Cup in 1987 confident. However, the semi-final against France at Sydney's Concord Oval, was lost 30–26. Australia then lost the third-fourth play-off match against Wales. While Australia's performances over the three years under coach Alan Jones were of a high standard, Jones had a polarising effect on the team with many players unhappy with his management style. Mark Ella, who retired after the 1984 season, stated that he might not have retired had Jones not been coach. Notably, there were deep ructions between coach Alan Jones and influential half-back Nick Farr-Jones. Before and during the 1987 World Cup Alan Jones increased his activities outside coaching Australia, including radio broadcasting. Following the World Cup Jones was removed as coach and Bob Dwyer—who had coached Australia in 1982 and 1983—returned to coach in 1988.
In 1989 the British and Irish Lions toured Australia for the first time since 1966. After winning the first Test, Australia lost the second and third matches to lose the series 1–2. Bob Dwyer identified a lack of forward dominance as a major factor contributing to the loss and entered the 1990s with an aim to improve this facet of the Wallaby game.
The team regrouped and then went into the 1991 World Cup with a renewed attitude. In the pool games they beat Argentina, cruised to a 38–3 win over Wales, and beat Samoa 9–3 in a rain soaked game. During the quarter-final match against Ireland, Australia were never able to pull away from them. With literally seconds remaining on the clock, Ireland were up 18–15 before Michael Lynagh scored in the corner to break the hearts of the Irish and qualify for the semi-final against New Zealand. In the first half they raced to a 13–3 lead and then showed they could defend as the All Blacks pounded their line. They faced England in the final at Twickenham. England changed their usually forward-dominated game plan and attempted to play more of a running game. It was unsuccessful and Australia battled out a 12–6 win. David Campese was named player of the tournament having scored six tries in a series of outstanding performances. Victory parades were held back in Australia for their national team.
The decade was one of the most important in the creation of the modern game. Australia's defence of the World Cup in South Africa in 1995 opened with defeat to the home side. Pool play was followed by an exit in the quarter-final against England courtesy of a long-range drop-goal from the boot of Rob Andrew. This was Australia's worst ever World Cup result, on a par with Australia's unexpected exit from the 2007 campaign at the quarter-final stage, also against England. The Tri-Nations and Super 12 tournaments were established that year, and started in 1996. This pushed the game into professionalism. In response to rugby's move to professionalism, the Rugby Union Players Association (RUPA) was established in October 1995 to safeguard the interests of Australia's professional rugby players.
Greg Smith was national coach in 1996 and 1997 when Australia only won two of their eight Tri-Nations Tests, both over South Africa in Australia, and suffered record-margin Test defeats to the All Blacks and Springboks. Rod Macqueen was appointed as Smith's successor and in 1998 Australia won both their Tests over the All Blacks to gain the Bledisloe Cup. They retained the Bledisloe in 1999 when they defeated the All Blacks by a record 28–7 in Sydney.
In the 1999 World Cup Australia won their pool and conceded only 31 points before facing Wales in their quarter final. They won 24–9 before winning the semi-final 27–21 against defending champions South Africa. The semi-final was won after a memorable drop goal in extra time by fly-half Stephen Larkham (his first drop goal attempt in a Test match). The final against France at Millennium Stadium was easily won by 35–12; with the majority of points courtesy of fullback and goal-kicker Matt Burke.
In 1999, five Australian players won their second Rugby World Cup: Phil Kearns, John Eales, Tim Horan, Jason Little and Dan Crowley.
In 2000 Australia retained the Bledisloe Cup, and won the Tri Nations for the first time. They repeated this in 2001 and also achieved their first ever series win over the British and Irish Lions. MacQueen, and captain John Eales both retired soon after this. They were replaced by coach Eddie Jones and captain George Gregan. This period also saw big-money signings of top-level Rugby league players Mat Rogers, Wendell Sailor, and Lote Tuqiri—all of whom went on to represent Australia. This was a contrast to much of the previous century where many Rugby union players were lured to league with large salaries.
After not retaining the Tri-Nations in 2002, and losing the Bledisloe Cup in 2003 Australia made a strong start to their 2003 World Cup campaign with a 24–8 win over Argentina, and two large victories over Namibia and Romania. They then narrowly defeated Ireland 17–16 and defeated Scotland 33–16 in their quarter-final. They claimed one of their greatest victories over New Zealand when they upset them in the semi-final winning 22–10, prompting George Gregan to taunt the New Zealanders with the words "Four more years boys, four more years".[17] They played England in a thrilling final and were finally defeated after England's Jonny Wilkinson kicked a drop goal in extra time.
In 2005 to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the professionalism of rugby union the Wallaby Team of the Decade was announced. John Eales being named captain by a selection panel of 30. Following the 2005 European tour, media outlets such as the Daily Telegraph called for the sacking of both Eddie Jones and George Gregan. Former coach Alan Jones also called for their sacking. The record of eight losses from their last nine Tests resulted in Jones being fired by the Australian Rugby Union.
John Connolly was named as the head-coach of Australia in early 2006. Australia won both of two Tests against England in 2006, as well as a subsequent win over Ireland. Australia lost by 20 points in their opening Tri-Nations fixture against the All Blacks. They then defeated South Africa in Brisbane by 49–0. They won one of their remaining four matches of the tournament. Following defeat to England in the Quarter-Finals of the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Connolly announced he was resigning as head-coach.
Robbie Deans was appointed head coach in early 2008 as the Wallabies began their preparations for the 2008 Tri-Nations series. After the retirement of George Gregan and Stephen Larkham after the 2007 Rugby World Cup, Deans had the task of choosing a squad minus some of its most experienced players. The Wallabies had mixed results in the 2008 Tri Nations Series, defeating New Zealand in Sydney and defeating South Africa twice, in both Perth and Durban. However, the Wallabies suffered the worst defeat in their history, going down 53–8 to South Africa in Johannesburg.
2009 was not a good year for the Wallabies. It was a good start for them as they defeated the Barbarians 55 – 7 and then beat Italy in both tests and finishing off the Mid year test series with a 22 – 6 win over France. It went downhill from there as they finished 3rd in the Tri Nations with 3 losses to the All Blacks (22 – 16, 19 – 18 and 33 – 6) and 2 losses to the World Champion Springboks (29 – 17 and 32 – 25). Their only win in the Tri Nations was a 21 – 6 win over the Springboks. In the Autumn Internationals of 2009, they lost to All Blacks 32 – 19, they beat England 18 – 9 on Jonny Wilkinson's return in the English jersey. The Wallabies then drew with Ireland 20-all after Brian O'Driscoll's last minute try to give Ronan O'Gara a relatively easy conversion to draw level. They then lost to Scotland for the first time in 27 years. The final score was 9 – 8 despite the 3 – 3 score at half time. The Wallabies only won 7 out of their 14 games in 2009 but were still ranked 3rd in the world.
2010 saw improved results in the Tri-Nations series, with a very rare away win against South Africa awarding Australia the Mandela Plate and ensuring they retained second place both in the 2010 Tri-Nations competition as well as the IRB World Rankings. However, they suffered their tenth consecutive defeat at the hands the All Blacks, an all-time record. Later that year however, Australia finally defeated New Zealand in a thrilling game that was played in Hong Kong; their first win against the All Blacks in close to three years. However they suffered losses against England and Munster on the their end of year European tour.
Australia would win the Tri-Nations series in 2011, which they had not achieved in ten years since the 2001, however failed the following season in their attempt the win the expanded version of the competition in 2012 called The Rugby Championship.
Australia also won their first match against Italy in the 2011 Rugby World Cup, but lost their second 2011 World Cup match, 6–15 against Ireland. Injuries to crucial players Digby Ioane and Stephen Moore influenced the results, alongside poor line-out throwing. In their third Pool C match, against the United States, the Wallabies eventually won 67–5, with Rob Horne, Rocky Elsom, Kurtley Beale, Drew Mitchell, Pat McCabe and Radike Samo all scoring a try, while Anthony Fainga'a scored 2 and Adam Ashley-Cooper scored three. The Wallabies won their last pool match against Russia, 68–22. The Wallabies beat the Springboks 11–9 to progress into the semi-finals.[18] However a week later the Wallabies were knocked out of the 2011 World Cup after being defeated 6–20 to the All Blacks in the second Semi Final match.[19]
The Wallabies play in Australia's traditional sporting colours of green and gold. Before there was a national jersey in place, the Wallabies would play in the jersey of the state the game was being held.[20] The Australian Coat of Arms would often replace the state logo on the jersey, a variety of these colours were used in a number of matches in the early 1900s.[20]
In 1928 governing bodies agreed that "the Australian amateur representative colours of green and gold, should be adopted".[20] The following year the All Blacks came to Australia, and the jersey worn was emerald green with the Australian Coat of Arms; with green socks with bars on the top.[20] The jersey remained the same, with a few variations, mainly throughout the 1930s.[20] In 1961 a gold jersey was used for a South African tour (to prevent a clash with the South African colours), and the gold has remained ever since.[20]
Canterbury's design for Australia's 2007 World cup jersey is more controversial, and features a curved tan-coloured panel across the chest resembling the shape of a bra.[21] This led the Sydney Morning Herald's chief rugby correspondent to publish a satire in his column comparing it to Kramer and Frank Costanza's infamous man bra from Seinfeld.[22]
The 2010 jersey is produced by KooGa, apparel sponsor for the season.[23] The first jersey used by the Wallabies under KooGa was used from 2010 through to the conclusion of the 2012 season, however, a different set of shorts and socks were made for the 2012 season. A new kit designed by KooGa was revealed in 2013, which was debuted by the Wallabies against the British and Irish Lions. The KooGa kit was then rebranded under their subdivision BLK Sport with the BLK logos replacing the KooGa logos on the kit, for the 2013 Spring Tour (known as Autumn Internationals in the Northern Hemisphere). In October of 2013, the ARU announced that Asics would replace KooGa as the apparel sponsor beginning in 2014 and the new Asics Wallabies merchandise would be available from May of 2014 - the release of the Asics jersey will mean the Wallabies will have donned 4 different jerseys to represent the country in only 3 seasons: the first being the original KooGa jersey (2010-2012), the second KooGa jersey (2013), the rebranded KooGa/BLK jersey (2013) and the Asics jersey (2014).
The nickname "Wallabies" is in reference to the wallaby—a marsupial that is widely distributed throughout Australia. The name has its origins during first United Kingdom and North America tour by the Australian team in 1908.[24][25] New Zealand had just completed a tour, and the English media dubbed their team the "All Blacks" in reference to their black attire.[24] It was suggested by the media that Australia should too have a nickname. Rabbits was apparently one of the names suggested, though this was turned down as they did not want the national team to represent an imported pest.[24] They opted for the native Wallaby instead.[24] At first it was only touring parties that were nicknamed the Wallabies; when Australia played domestically, they were referred to as internationals.[24]
Tri Nations and The Rugby Championship[edit]
Australia's only annual tournament was the Tri Nations (now The Rugby Championship played against Argentina, New Zealand and South Africa contested since 1996. They have won the Tri Nations competition three times in 16 years; in 2000, 2001 and 2011. Australia considers the All Blacks (New Zealand) to be their greatest rivals, with whom they have contested the Bledisloe Cup since 1932 and the Wallabies have won less than 30 per cent of their encounters against their trans-Tasman opponents.{{[26]}} The Bledisloe Cup is now contested during the Tri Nations. The longest period that Australia held the Bledisloe is five years, between 1998 and 2002.[27] The Mandela Challenge Plate is also contested between South Africa and Australia during the Tri Nations.

World Cup[edit]
Australia has appeared at every Rugby World Cup since the first tournament in 1987. Australia is the first nation to win two World Cups in 1991 and 1999. New Zealand (1987 and 2011) and South Africa (1995 and 2007) have joined them. They progressed to three Rugby Union World Cup finals, a record jointly held with New Zealand, England and France. Australia co-hosted the 1987 event with New Zealand. They were grouped with England, the United States and Japan in Pool A. In their first ever World Cup match, Australia defeated England 19–6 at Concord Oval in Sydney. Australia defeated their other pool opponents to finish the top of their group and advance to the quarter finals where they defeated Ireland 33–15. They were knocked out by France in the semi-finals, and then lost the third place match against Wales.
Australia automatically qualified for the 1991 World Cup in Europe. Australia again finished at the top of their pool, defeating Western Samoa, Wales and Argentina during the group stages. They met Ireland yet again in the quarter finals, defeating them by one point to go through to the semi-finals, where they defeated the All Blacks 16–6 to qualify for their first World Cup final. Australia defeated England 12–6 at Twickenham in the 1991 Rugby World Cup Final to become world champions. Australia were again automatically qualified for the 1995 World Cup in South Africa. Australia finished second in their pool, losing one game to hosts South Africa. They were then knocked out in the quarter finals by England.
Australia finished at the top of their group at the 1999 World Cup in Wales, defeating Ireland, Romania and the United States during the group stages. After defeating hosts Wales in the quarter-finals, they defeated defending champions South Africa 27–21 to make it to the final. There they defeated France 35 to 12, in the 1999 Rugby World Cup Final and becoming the first nation to win the World Cup more than once. Australia solely hosted the tournament in 2003, and went undefeated in Pool A, defeating Ireland, Argentina, Romania and Namibia. Australia defeated Scotland in the quarter finals, and then the All Blacks in what was regarded as an upset in the semi-finals, to go to the final. England won the final in extra time with a Jonny Wilkinson drop goal.
Australia again finished first in their group at the 2007 World Cup in France, after recording wins over Japan, Wales, Fiji and Canada. They were at the time the 2nd ranked team in the World, and the only team to have beaten the favourites New Zealand that year. However, they only progressed to the quarter finals, thus equalling their worst finish at the World Cup finals. They were eliminated once again by England 12–10, largely thanks again to Jonny Wilkinson's successful attempts at penalties. The loss was widely regarded as an upset, especially as England had only finished 2nd in their pool and were ranked 7th. Nevertheless, England went on to beat another favourite, France, and advanced to the final where they were defeated by South Africa.
In one of the scenes of the feature film, Invictus, Australia can be seen playing South Africa in the 1995 Rugby World Cup.

Notable players[edit]
Seven former Australian players have been inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame; David Campese, John Hipwell, Ken Catchpole, John Eales, Mark Ella, Nick Farr-Jones, Tim Horan and Michael Lynagh.[35] Campese, Catchpole, Eales and Ella have also been inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame. Eales received this honour in 2007,[36] and the other three were inducted in 2013.[37]
Four former Australia players are members of the IRB Hall but not the International Hall. The first of these to be inducted, Nicholas Shehadie, won 30 caps for the Wallabies[38] and was inducted into the IRB Hall in 2011, but was not honoured as a player. He was instead recognised as one of four key figures in the creation of the Rugby World Cup.[39]
Three others were inducted alongside Campese, Catchpole and Ella in 2013—George Gregan, Thomas Lawton, Snr and John Thornett.[37] Gregan, a scrum-half whose Test career spanned the amateur and professional eras of the sport (1994–2007), is most notable as being the all-time caps leader in international rugby union, with 139 in all. He also captained the Wallabies in 59 Tests. Lawton, a fly-half whose international career spanned from 1920 to 1932, was noted for his ball-handling and kicking skills, and most notably led Australia to their first-ever clean sweep of the Bledisloe Cup series, in 1929. Thornett, a forward who played in four different positions for the Wallabies, made his international debut in 1955. He earned 35 caps in a 12-year Test career, and captained the Wallabies 15 times. During Australia's drawn 1963 Test series against South Africa, in which he served as captain, the Wallabies became the first team in the 20th century to win consecutive Tests over the Springboks.[40]
Individual records[edit]
Former captain George Gregan is Australia's, as well as the world's most capped player in the history of rugby with 139 Test caps, and also recently equalled the record for the most caps as captain with Will Carling, 59 caps (a record later to be broken by John Smit of South Africa). David Campese scored 64 Test tries in his career, which was a world record until Daisuke Ohata of Japan overtook him with 69 tries, and Michael Lynagh was the highest Test points scorer in world rugby with 911 until Neil Jenkins of Wales overtook him with 1037 points. Rocky Elsom scored the fastest forward hat-trick in World Cup history. Australia's most-capped forward is lock Nathan Sharpe, who retired from international rugby after the 2012 end-of-year Tests with 116 caps.
The longest winning streak by Australia was produced in the early 1990s, and started at the 1991 World Cup in England, with three pool wins, and subsequent quarter-final and semi-final victories over Ireland and the All Blacks respectively. This was followed by the win over England in the final. The streak continued into the following year, for two matches against Scotland and the All Blacks, lasting in total, 10 games. Similarly, the Australian record for losses in a row is also 10 games, which was sustained from a period from 1899 to 1907, including two British Isles tours, and losses to the All Blacks.
The largest winning margin for Australia 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. The largest loss was against South Africa, who defeated Australia 53 points to 8 in 2008.

Home grounds[edit]
The Wallabies play at a variety of stadiums around Australia. Some of these include Subiaco Oval in Perth, Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, ANZ Stadium in Sydney, and the MCG and Etihad Stadium in Melbourne.
A variety of venues were used around Australia for the 2003 Rugby World Cup matches.
Some of the earlier stadiums that were traditionally used for Wallabies matches, included Sydney's Concord Oval and the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and Sports Ground, as well as Ballymore and the Exhibition Ground in Brisbane. It was the SCG that hosted the first ever Australian international, against Great Britain, in 1899.

Smudges Easily!
I love how creamy and easy this is to use! Plus, it's very black, which is exactly what I wanted. This is perfect for upper or lower lining! The only problem is that it smudges really easily, so I wouldn't suggest it if you touch your eyes frequently!
No good. Had tried this a while ago and liked it but they must have changed their formula. Now it's extremely soft and you have to be very careful when putting it on. I ended up with raccoon eyes or the liner disappeared within a few hours. Despite this, it didn't even wash off with soap when I tried to remove it. I took it back, it was too messy.
Pretty good liner
I bought this because I needed a standard eyeliner and that is exactly what it is: standard.
I only use it on my upper lashline because it just won't stay on my bottom one. It works well on the top, though.
This eyeliner smears VERY easily. Sometimes that can be a good thing, though.
The color is great!
Standard Black Liner, has some drawbacks.
I've had this liner for eons and probably should have ditched it a long time ago- but its become something nostalgic as it has found its home in different makeup bags, boxes and ceramic cups over the years. I think this could be compared to their Great Lash line- but better. The packaging is primo- you can easily uncap the lid and roll the product out of its tube- with no need to sharpen. Even with a blunter edge the eye liner nub is still easy to work with. It has suffered no damage in its duration in my care and the packaging is not only cute, but durable, something I find pretty important in any cosmetic or skincare product. The smudger on the other size is cozily nestled under another pretty durable, clear plastic cap. Because the liner is so smudgy/pliable, I find the smudger sponge only good for removing product from the eyes, not simply smudging. That's not good, and I've since stopped using it, and I didn't use it much to begin with. Plus, even though its your personal e.l. that seems hella unsanitary. And near the smudger side is a sharpener, which of course I forgot to mention/use. My b! The products that encompass this three-in-one might be good to sub-par, but at least you get a few things to play around with.
I like the texture and pigmentation of this liner. Its creamy and spreadable and obviously appears blacker and more pigmented the more product you apply, be it swatched on your hand or on your eyes. However, like many of you mentioned, and I agree- it doesn't stay on the lid without creasing (I think that's happened even with primers) and its notorious for slipping off the waterline. On the other hand, like Erin Z. mentioned, its great for a momentary touch to top off an eye look. I like to use this on my waterlines and to tight line (because its so smooth and won't tug on delicate lid skin) and it will show up great on camera. Its always been a must for me when doing a gothy smokey eye- to fill in the eye area completely with black- especially the waterline.
I find it will stay for a little bit, and the worst its done for me is slip to the lash line- but not much under. I've been lucky and had no raccoon/crying eyes with this, but it might have slipped even under the lash line and hit my under eye creases. It has the tendency to mix and muddy up the shadow or liner lining your bottom lashes so its ideal to wear it when you have darker shadow on, to keep your eye colors purer and less disturbed from mixed in black liner. But again, it will stay on the waterline for a bit, long enough to snap a nice pic, and for some, the most damage it will do is falling to the lash line- which makes the bottom lashes look darker and fuller at the root. Forget lining the top lid, and forget the smudger, it will only wipe away the hard work you did on your eyes.
Even though this has many cons, its a nice, cheaper eyeliner that you can grab on the go and have for awhile. It doesn't need to be the best eye liner on the planet to have a place in your beauty collection. Its great for balancing out a colorful eye with a little black in the water/tight lines, or adding definition to a neutral eye, and most importantly, filling in areas for a dark smokey eye- but of course capture this on the video or camera because in a few hours it will have faded or not even be there. I might be rating this higher because of nostalgia but I find it to be useful in some ways, so I've kept it around. But I don't reach for it for many of the reasons stated above.
Was I crying?
I used this on my water line, and at first it looked great. Then, I learned it was a BAD CHOICE. After about an hour it starting smearing and it looked like I just got done crying! By the end of the night it was all suudged under my eyes. I wouldn't suggest it.
Does not stay put
Like others have reviewed, this eyeliner does have a very creamy, slippery application. My skin is not even that oily but I had to reapply CONSTANTLY throughout the school day because it would keep getting wiped off or smeared. Thank god I switched eyeliners because I was spending so much money on this crap that would get used up so quickly from constant reapplication.
Not for your waterline!!!
I tried this on my waterline and I had to keep reapplying every two hours. The first time i tried it, I put it on before school, by the end of the day it was all gone.
Sooo pigmented
You know how somtimes you have to re-do a line, with this liner you don't have to :D It's sooo good. It goes on smoothly, but the only thing is that it slides :(
Good product for your eyelid, not so much for your water line, which is what I bought it for. It smudges and gives you raccoon eyes, NOT CUTE! I don't think I will be purchasing this again.
definitley not something i am going to by again. it smeared and got everywear, even if you set it with powder its still very messy. i got the nude shade, and if the consistency wasnt so creamy it would be awesome because the color looked great in my waterline, if it came in a regular pencil form, it would be great. but definitley will not be repurchasing.

Having not competed in a single triathlon event, I'm unqualified to address that question; but the author of this article asserts that though bricks have a value, that that value for the long distance triathlete is solely to teach you to transition from cycling to running. The author asserts, "The purpose of every single workout is essentially to increase your capacity to do work, and it's under this lens that the value of a brick workout quickly disappears." This statement seems to be the foundation for the development of unusual claim.
I submit his other "less than mainstream assertions" and the development of his claim to your reading of his article. It is somewhat unorthodox and even thought provoking. I wondered what my 50+ friends here at iamtri think of the author's approach?
There is a lot of value in what they say here. I think the less experienced you are the more value the brick runs are--you really need to get the legs trained to do that transition--but then you don't need a long brick--say maybe 3 mile run--that gets you through the transition of blood flow and gets the legs moving. I hardly ever do a longer run after a bike--and in the past couple of years have cut back on the number of bricks that I do. I need to learn how to be a fast runner--and agree that you can increase your run speed more by running on fresh legs.
If you have never done a run after a 100+ mile bike--you need to do it. Experiencing that feeling for the first time in your IM is not a good idea.
I'm with Sue, I struggle off the bike and it took me a long time to learn to hold back on the bike so I could run at the end of the TRI (I'm still not the best at this). The important part of the brick is to get your legs used to the change from biking to running, so the run doesn't need to be very long.
I totally agree with Sue and Don. I am a member of Endurance Nation and have read the many debates/discussions on their boards. Getting off a 100+mile bike ride can definitely screw up your running gate until you get use to having them back under you again. With EN, they ask you to give/trust the coaches with the first 6 mile by helping you with your pace. After the 6 "easy" miles then you will get into your IM pace and then your race really begins at mile 18. Everything before mile 18 is just a preamble to the real event after mile 18. My goal is to be half as fast as Sue and Don....after that, the world bbbwwaahahahaha! (he rolls his hands together in a sinister gesture).
Good? Bad? Worth it? ....who cares! If mentally it lets you feel prepared, do it. If you are confident noughand have enough experience it's a personall call ...
I did longer bricks in the before my first IM. Since then I've stayed with nothing longer than about 30 min. as part of a brick. Agree with all the comments here so far though. You do need to learn to run off the bike. And agree with Jay about pacing the beginning of the run. I find that very difficult to do but am hoping to get it right on my 5th try next month!
In my 8 years of racing Ironmans my coach has never had me run more than 30 minutes after a long run. I have occasionally "cheated" and tacked on an extra 10-15 minutes but that's just because I love to run, not because I think it's doing anything more for me. As others have mentioned the purpose is to train for the transition not to hammer out a long or hard run after a long bike ride. Save that for race day.
I have run about 12 triathlons which included 3 at HIM and IM and a half dozen Olympic events. However, I haven't run any tri's, except in training this year, in the last 25 years. For the last year, I am training about 2-4 hours per day, 6 days/week. I try to do all three sports and weight training in the same day about 3 times a week. I don't try to do them in tri order, though sometimes I do. My experience is that I agree mostly with what the article says, especially about the mental preparation for the transition. I don't know if you can train your way around the time it takes to get the blood flowing to the right places after the bike. You can get used to running on tired legs and set proper expectations - which seems to be what Rick is saying in this article.
Lots of great discussion. When I first started doing tri's 20 years ago, my legs would feel like rubber getting off the bike. Ironically, now that almost never happens. Generally my legs actually feel fine when I start my run. The issue ultimately is fatigue and how long I can keep up a particular pace. That said, I haven't done a lot of bricks or transition runs in previous years, but this year I've added transition runs to many of my bike rides. I feel it has really helped me, but I'll know more in two weeks at St. George. I do think that the transition run concept is a good one. Also, the value of pushing too hard or too long on tired legs may increase the risk of injury. Finally, my coach always reminds me that in order to run well you have to be in great cycling shape. So, you improve cycling fitness to run better. Like he says, you don't see any Kenyon marathon runners doing triathlons:)
Because most of the reading I've done about bricks elevates them almost to the status of a holy sacrament, I was expecting a general disagreement with this article's assertions. Since my bricks find me fully transitioned to running mode within two miles of getting off of the bike, I'm glad to see a general unanimity that the real value of bricks is to train you to transition to run. My longest brick to date was 38 miles on the bike followed by a 3 mile run (in 97 degree Texas heat). Less the heat, and then lengthening the bike, it sounds like I'm on the right track. Thanks for the input.

The calf leather used for the Rita bag has a particular shiny double tone look due to a lengthy, unique process. First, the leather is tumbled in order to remove the natural grain. Skins are then waxed in wooden barrels and prepared to be dyed. The dyes used are specially color recipes made exclusively upon request of Marc Jacobs for Collection Accessories. The color process is made with pure aniline that results in a transparently dyed leather. The shiny polished look of the leather is achieved by pressing a large hot plate on the leather, effectively ironing it. The double tone and pull up effect in color occurs due to the oil that was added during the tanning process. Convertible chain and leather strap (drop length: 25 cm) Small turn pill lock closure Interior pocket sleeve with divider Interior back zip pocket 14" x 9" x 4" 35.5 cm x 23 cm x 10 cm 100% Calf Leather.

I have really enjoyed my session at ADAS,the woman is so calm and sweet and I feel as though I can be 100% honest with her.Today she asked me to tell her a list of all of the things that I like myself.I didn't want to sound as though I was blowing my own trumpet but I came up with a good list! I told her about how my week had been and my concerns about some future social events that are coming up which she said we can talk about more in another session.
The sessions only last half an hour but I always walk away feeling better which is all that matters.
I'm very proud to have reached day 25 although I did get a little urge to drink and forget about an hour ago.I resisted and instead I am going to have a nice healthy dinner then make myself do some exercise in front of the TV.

Casino gambling can be successful and relaxing, or can lead to loosing a lot of money and can become frustrating. What decides if you are a winner or a looser is the level of knowledge that a player has reached by learning certain strategies. Of course the games provided by casino owners involve a quite high amount of luck, but there is an explanation for the fact that some gamblers loose a lot of money, others win from time to time and few earn constant winnings.
The explanation is exactly the strategies we were talking earlier about. Each game is different, therefore each game has it's own algorithm, meaning that based on statistics there are certain moves a player can choose to make at a certain point of a game. The higher the level of knowledge the better the control on the game. Controlling the game is what makes you a winner.
Beside luck and learning the strategies there is a third thing gamblers should be aware of, and I know for sure some players, specially the new ones don't pay attention to this third thing. In each casino and for each game there is set a certain payout rate, that can vary from around 100% down to under 60%. Obviously there can't be set a payout rate for the game of blackjack played in a real casino, therefore we are talking only about games that involve an electronic device, such as slot machines in real casinos, some models of roulettes and all of the online casino games.
The good news is some of these games are set even to over 100% payout rate, for a limited period of time (also called promotions). I know, some of you will say it can't be true, because this way casinos would loose instead of winning, but believe me, for the purpose of gaining new players and popularity casino owners will do it. For example, instead of paying for advertising a certain casino can choose to announce a 105% payout rate as a limited time offer and they might win more popularity than they would through advertising. These are possible reasons to set the payout rate over 100% and I'm telling you all this just to make sure you understand there are logical reasons for the casino owners to act like that.
All this being said, what's left to do? You better start searching for the best casinos around. Usually that takes a lot of time, thats why some sites provide you with all these information, with the casinos already reviewed and rated. If you're looking to spare some time then Casino Gambling Index is exactly what you need. Because slot machines contribute about 60% of the entire casino bets, they have a slots online guide area where you will find listed, reviewed and rated some of the most popular online casinos that provide this game. Beside the reviews and the ratings that will quickly help you choose the right casino there is another important advantage: the casinos listed by Casino Gambling Index are all secure and certified. You wouldn't want to play in casino that offers 150% payout rate but does not allow you to cash out (so called scammers).
Unfortunately some online gamblers have another problem: certain casinos have country restrictions. Usually the restrictions come from a lack of financial/economical agreement between the country of residence of the player and the host-country of a certain casino. USA is one of the countries that has this problem, therefore Casino Gambling Index provides a special area were they offer a list of online casinos for USA players. Again, the listed casinos are reviewed, rated and certified.

Few weeks ago, I joined into a zombie-RPG on the Newgrounds Forum. It collapsed after 2 days, but... It was fun, so I'll start a new. In my comment section (if it's not allowed, I'll find out but I think it's OK).
Arabascan wrote:The door was locked. London knew, that there is food behind that door. The guy was one of the people who early started hoarding, and some days ago, London saw him wandering around in the city. He was infected. And the door is locked, that means that he was infected outside before he could use the supplies. But breaking the door would make noise and noise attracts the infected.
London prowled out of the building, searching for a window he could use to enter the flat. There was one. Third floor. No fire stairs. He has to climb.
Luckily there was a drainpipe. It wasn't rusty but mossy and probably slippery. Anyways, it was the best way. London wasn't a bad climber but clibing a smooth wall alone without equipment...
After a few minutes, he reached the window. He smashed the glass, wary not to make much noise. Then he pulled his crowbar and entered.
The flat was clean and tidy. No signs of battle, no blood. Looked clean.
Then London noticed that the door has been barricaded from the inside. The owner couldn't have done this when he was outside.
There's something here.
London looked around. He found another locked door. He heard scratches. He tried to open, but it was locked from inside. He put his crowbar in position and opened.
The zombie couldn't even turn around before his head was smashed.
There was some canned food and other supplies in the flat. And it was safe now. A perfect hideout.

I thought this would be the year my two teams go to the cup, but as of now it looks as though they might both lose ! this ****ing suxs
I thought the Sharks would be there, I think they still might. Montreal....be a fun game tonight.
I'm from Pitt and live in Minnesota. Pens move on, Wild...couldn't score.
Love this time of year. Center Ice rules.
Sharks are going the distance this year..and also ****
They rolled. Both games will be fun tonight.
Sharks will find a way to choke like they usually do.
Its definitely true that they are notorius chokejobs....but they have NEVER been this good....easily the most talented roster in the NHL top to bottom. Even though the Calgary series went 7...if you watched those games there is no doubt who the better team was except Game 6. I consider calgary one of the most physical teams in the league and the sharks responded...and with the ducks out the road is set for the sharkies.

AmpFℓSTR® PCR Amplification kits use PCR to amplify short tandem repeat (STR) loci in multiplex assays. The STR fragments are then visualized via capillary electrophoresis on genetic analyzers. Peaks other than the desired alleles may be detected, such as stutter products. The primary mechanism for the formation of stutter products in STR sequences was first reported more than 20 years ago and offered as a theory for genetic evolution. For Human Identification analysis, understanding the characteristics of stutter peaks is particularly relevant when samples contain DNA mixtures. This article will address stutter products and the current understanding of their formation and significance in commonly used AmpFℓSTR kits.

A Very Special Thanks to Dr. Cris Eaton-Welsh and her wonderful husband Steve Welsh for never…Read Moregiving up on a dream they both shared. They kept their heads high when criticized and continued on and to see the incredible results and the smiles on the skate boarders faces today showed the gratitude and thankfulness that they expressed. Events for the Skate Park started this morning @ 10 AM and the skaters are still there having a ball. It's freezing cold out there and evidently, the cold does not bother these skate board enthusiasts. If today was any indication of one of the great activities coming to light in the City of Kennesaw, just wait and watch for a great 2014 Calendar.
