"The Daily Telegraph told me that before you beat the Australians in your last game, you were all singing along to 'The Gambler.' I don't know a whole lot about rugby, but it's a song that means a lot to me and I'm mighty proud that you guys found something in it to be your inspiration," Rogers said in a message addressed to the players Tuesday.
