Twenty Questions with Qantas Wallabies flyhalf Matt Giteau
July 10, 2008 - 5:47pm
Story by: ARU
He was the Man of the Match in Brisbane, setting up all four Wallaby tries and landing eight from eight shots at goal, but did you know he speaks four languages and his speciality in the kitchen is slow roasted Pork Kassler with cabbage & celeriac mash and homemade spicy apple chutney & charcuterie sauce.
