Are you able to do the "Score and More", Kandj? :-)

CONVERTED BY BERNARD FOLEY!

Hiya Kandj <3

Australia have had a great run, but the ball was intercepted by Argentina, but is knocked on.

A lot of scrambling for ball possession to and fro now!

Australia again have possession, and it's an early Try for Australia from an interception!

AUSTRALIA'S ANTHEM

ADVANCE AUSTRALIA FAIR

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who've come across the seas
We've boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.

No problems Pat, Enjoy your curry :-) <3
