The scrawny anti-athlete is a laughing stock at first sight, can't fit into the tiny shorts any better then the shoes of the least talented rookie ever to have played for the team. His mentor has to throw the ball at him to stop him resting. He cries like a girl during 'only' 15 minutes in ice-water and is utterly humiliated by the kids and even the club's ladies team the 'Sharks'. Still a side of expats (15 lost in the huge stadium) may not be disappointed, although Down Under the national obsession at the time is revenge on the 'posh' who trashed them in a prestige game.
