A Short Aussie Soldier And A Tall Scot Settle The Oldest Barracks Argument With Gloves On, In A Corridor

"All Aussie do is lift, they can't fight!" That is what the Scots keep saying, and one soldier decided to answer it with gloves instead of words.

The set-up is simple and perfect. A Scottish soldier and an Aussie soldier, billed head to head: the Scot tall, the Aussie short. Pads and gloves strapped on, shirts off, in a corridor with their mates lined up in the background to watch. The Aussie in the clip is the poster himself, Samuel Wride, who goes by swride_tactical online, and he is the one carrying the whole country's lifting reputation into the bout.

That is the fun of it. Height and reach go to the Scot. The Aussie has the chip on his shoulder and a point to prove. Anyone who has served alongside a mob from another country knows this argument never ends, and this is the honest way to take it up: in a ring of mates, with respect, and everyone in the room leaning in.

Who do you back, the tall Scot or the short Digger? Wride's page is where to go for more. The Make Diggers Violent Again shirts and hoodies he is repping come from @nxtwear.co.
