I believe it would be an Aussie or a Kiwi in this specific case.
Sorry, I have to quote myself, I know, it is so pretentious... If you don't like these nicknames, then replace Aussie by Australian and Kiwi by New-Zealander. I still fail to see the difference between our two Posts then. Now, the question is, what country(ies) is(are) at the antipodes of Canada? *Smirks*

I do hope France loses against England, as the comments after such a result are really entertaining. Like Last year, during the World Cup, but that's another story.

Incidentally, in France, the battle is called "Azincourt", while according to the inhabitants of Albion, it is "Agincourt". (You aren't alone to write "Agincourt", the Britannica is spelling this way as well, among other sources) However, both cities exist, which is quite a problem. Even when it comes to locating a battle, it seems like France and England cannot reach an agreement.
