Victoria was a powerhouse in Australian Rugby, back before WW2. Read a book called," Kokoda Wallaby " by Andrew James, [ a former Australian special forces soldier who fought in Afghanistan ] about Stan Bisset, the Victorian rugby international who became a Kokoda hero. To quote the back page

" Stan Bisset was a real hero, both in battle on the rugby pitch, and in desperate armed combat against the Japanese during the second World War. As a member of the ill-fated 1939 Wallaby touring team to England , he was a rugby legend. In the Middle East, and on the Kokoda track, he was one of Australia's most distinguished and heroic combatants. He personified so many attributes of the Australian soldier: moral and physical courage, compassion, selflessness, independence, loyalty, resourcefulness, devotion, and humour. " A big wrap indeed.
