The siren song of the Wallabies, not the national anthem is sung at Twickenham, but returns home at a time usually reserved for train drivers, Garbos and clubbers.
In the early hours before dawn, we roll out of bed and groping in the dark for the TV remote control, booze at the show in our jams and jam wipe the sleep from our eyes
If you mute the sound on your TV, and listen ever so carefully, you might just hear the siren song we speak of.
When Rob Simmons intercepts for the opening try after two minutes, or Bernard Foley loops a long ball out to Adam Ashley-Cooper, or David Pocock pilfers another ball at the breakdown, or Drew Mitchell embarks on a jinking, swerving, incisive run that leads to the decisive five-pointer, you will hear the other ardent souls like yourself, cheering and yelling and hollering at the TV and waking up the neighbours.
The streets are coming alive in the dead of night, and it isn't to watch our cricketers or Socceroos or brattish tennis players competing on the other side of the world.
It's to watch the Wallabies, who have recaptured the imagination of a wider sporting public that usually drops them quicker than a frigid prom date.
Their semi-final win against Argentina at a heaving Twickenham on Monday morning – really early Monday morning, actually – pitchforked them into the decider against the All Blacks.
The reaction from the Wallabies players as soon as referee Wayne Barnes blew the full-time whistle was subdued. It was as much a sign that the job wasn't done as how exhausted they were.
They may have punched well above their weight at this World Cup, but now there's a genuine belief from within that they can win it
