Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Wally is the name of the official mascot of the Australian rugby union team - the Wallabies. As his name implies, Wally is a Wallaby. The stuffed version of the mascot is carried with the Wallabies on overseas tours to Europe. It then becomes the duty of the youngest member of the touring party to protect the mascot from pranks by older players to hide and sabotage it. It is considered an embarressment to the protector if Wally is not safely guarded. For example when Berrick Barnes was forced to protect Wally during the 2007 World Cup in France he had to stitch it up several times and perform a search of every member''s hotel room to retrieve it - despite the help of Lote Tuqiri. As the protector is forced to hold Wally at all times it becomes a source of entertainment for senior players when the team is out socialising. During the 2008 tour it became a long running joke among the players that the mascot could be used by 18 year old James O''Connor to break the ice with young ladies.
