I don't support any one sports icon for any reason other than my own passion. why would I support a team/person because they're Australian? I don't particularly like most sports but those such as Tennis I only watch for the pure skill of the best so Andy Murray and his ilk get my attention, I quite like boxing and Danny Green is someone I respect but Mundine will never get my support no matter if he is representing Aus or not.
I don't care for Car racing and you can add League, International Aussie rules, Cricket and Basketball to that list.

I am happy to hear the Wallabies win but felt bad for France as I think they're gun.

All in all, who cares, there is no national identity connected with supporting your nation through Sport and it isn't worth the hassle trying to care.
