Answer: wallaby

The Australian Rugby Team is indeed known as the Wallabies. The origin of this name dates back to the early 1900s. According to the official Rugby Australia website, the team got their nickname when the New Zealand team got theirs (the All Blacks, because of their black clothing), and it was suggested that the Aussies be named after an animal.

The idea of the Rabbits was tossed around, but it was given the flick, as the team did not want to be named after an imported pest. They eventually settled on the Wallabies, a native animal, resembling a small kangaroo.
