The trophy cabinet at the Australian Rugby Union might be empty but at last Rah Rah fans have a world championship-winning team to cheer for.
In a moment that had Sydney's Oxford Street's late-night bars buzzing, the Sydney Convicts captured the Bingham World Cup in Dublin last week, seeing off the challenge of London's Kings Cross Steelers for gay rugby union's highest honour.
At 18-3, this was no fightback victory, but coach Bronnie Mackintosh said the teams camaraderie got them through a tough tournament, stating on the team's website, "The boys played quick-running rugby all week."
