'The names (and the relative positions on the food chain) have stuck.'

Good one.. hehe. (Although it is many years since I lived in Brissie, at State of Origin time I can't help barracking for the maroons.)

呵呵，没有蜈蚣队

顺便，没有蜈蚣，不过西澳大利亚人被称为“sandgropers":

而且，现在时间来为了其他的自己生造词： ”砂摸索“

Hi bodawei

谢谢你的回帖。我最喜欢的名字还是“蟑螂队”，呵呵。我刚才想起来老婆以前对我说过，新西兰有一个橄榄球队叫“全黑队” (All Blacks)，我觉得很好听。 看起来新西兰橄榄球队的取名模式跟澳大利亚有所不同，对不对？

bodawei

澳大利亚橄榄球队的取名‘丛林松鼠’(Wallabies)， 我觉得Wallabies也很好听。 所以全黑队和丛林松鼠比赛，都是提橄榄球。

关于澳式橄榄球，澳大利亚澳式橄榄球队的取名‘袋鼠’(Kangaroos)， 新西兰澳式橄榄球队的取名‘几维鸟‘(Kiwis).

新西兰足球队叫‘全白队’，对吧？

bababardwan

是爱尔兰人队，对吧

Ha ha, no .. much more down to earth. The Canberra Raiders.

bababardwan

I did think of Canberra Raiders but they're Rugby League n'est pas? [as most of our conversation has been about] and you seemed to have moved on to AFL as your Chinese was 澳式橄榄球 which I think is Aussie Rules. As far as I could tell Rugby League is 联盟橄榄球

bodawei

I call 澳式橄榄球 Rugby League and have been using that term for years because it makes more sense. The truth is that there are not enough Chinese speakers interested for it to matter! I think that in Australia, Chinese speakers who are interested would probably slip in the English anyway. And in China the differences between the codes is too subtle for most people. 橄榄球 would cover any oval ball code.
