I suspected as much.

Heathen, know ye not there is but One True Football. Lucky for you footy is not a jealous God. Australians have found room in their great big hearts to worship strange sports from every corner of the globe, even the quaint "rugby" code practiced by some natives of NSW and Queensland. Since there are seven days in every week and 24 hours in every day and barely enough sports to fill the whole schedule (especially with all the extra PayTV slots) sectarianism doesn't get a look into the Australian psyche. In fact it has been found necessary to invent entirely new sports, such as sports lifesaving, to take up the slack.
Australia is, by this measure, a tolerant multicultural society, its people always willing to tolerate, yea even embrace, alien sports. (Mind you, some of the actual people are a different question. Camel racing gets a guernsey, of course, but middle-east refugees can expect a red card from the umpire and to be thrown back out to sea like an undersize catch.)

>Possibly. Driscoll is a by-marriage name so although I don't know of any in Tasmania that doesn't mean much.
Never mind, haven't heard from them in years anyhow.
