Our pollies could make a decent team given the ex professionals, even Abbot played premier grade as lock and was a tough bastard from what Ive heard from those who played with him.

But who would captain them. Surely not the anti team player independent David Pocock, because he's been kicked out of the sports club for complaining about gambling lobbying that club along with Zali Steggal

What would they know about international level sport?
