I agree wholeheartly, as Parabrat said, it's a learning experience. As for rivalry, I like it too, it's the same as interstate rivalry, especially when the State of Origin football is on. For six weeks New South Welshmen and Queenslanders hate each other's guts, then when the national team is selected to play either New Zealand or Great Britain the 'enemy' changes. I will always remember game 2 in 1999 when the Olympic stadium was first opened. There was 103,000 at the game, a Rugby League world record crowd, and it sounded funny hearing that many people singing a particular song about the Queenslanders that I can't repeat here lol.
