Because it names one team, it takes "the" and behaves like a plural: the Wallabies have won, the Wallabies are playing New Zealand. British and Australian English will often treat it as a plural even where Americans would not.

Because it names one team因為它指的是一個隊伍，it takes "the" and behaves like a plural所以會加「the」、像複數一樣用：the Wallabies have wonthe Wallabies have won（他們贏了）、the Wallabies are playing New Zealandthe Wallabies are playing New Zealand（他們正在對戰紐西蘭）。British and Australian English英式和澳式英語 will often treat it as a plural常把它當複數用，even where Americans would not即使美式英語不會這樣。

this is rugby union這是rugby union（英式橄欖球聯盟)，not rugby league不是rugby league（另一種橄欖球）—— the league team聯賽的隊伍 is called叫做 the KangaroosKangaroos，and the two are different sports with different teams這兩種是不同運動、不同隊伍，which trips up even native speakers連母語人士都常常搞混。

Capital W, and always plural in this meaning; "a Wallaby" with a capital would mean one player from that team. With a small w, wallabies is simply the plural of the animal.

Capital W大寫W時，always plural in this meaning這個意思一律當複數用；a Wallaby with a capital「a Wallaby」大寫的話 would mean會指 one player from that team該隊的一名球員。With a small w小寫w的話，wallabies就只是 is simply the plural of the animal這種動物的複數。
