In Rugby Union at that time, there was an adage - win a scrum against the feed ... run the blind side. Which is exactly what happened for Australia's first try. Footnote: Fulton played Rugby Union for Australian Services.
If Mills, Gray, Thompson, Dixon, Chisnall and Nicholls were second-string, who were the first-string -- Superman, Batman, Thor, the Silver Surfer, Ironman and Wolverine?
Played a test on Saturday ( got beat up, head-hunted, eye gouged etc) backed up on Sunday for your club. State of origin guys are soft. This stuff was HEAPS harder.
Terrible selections , bill mullins ,mark harris , ken maddison should have been in that side ! Eadie was very poor ! Fulton should a been 5/8 , not out in the centres
I know they are Australian so some inherent ignorance but why do they call them Englishmen? Mills Bevan Dixon. Call big jim an Englishman at your peril. O'Reilly showing his convict heritage. Why did he not headbut jim mills instead of a 2 stone fullback?
I love watching these early 70’s matches. Especially internationals
Love these old games. This was rugby.
Brutal game. Wow, a penalty only for a headbutt. It was different game back then …
Rough but expansive. Better than the drivel nowadays.

Paul Charlton epic performance at fullback.
This basicslly was the test series that showed John Grays goalkicking talents and now everyones doing it.
Plenty of digs going in at the tackle. Tough game back then😊
Coote , McCarthy , Stevens and Sait. South’s supplied the whole Aussie back row. But Coote was with the Roosters at this time.
Damn. Thought a comeback was on the cards, but not to be!!
Poms carved em up,an Aus mostly struggle to break line, Arty an Bob maybe too weighty
Nice flick pass for Great Britain’s third try.
GB played with a second string pack .

Bill Mullins and Mark Harris definitely should have been in, what great seasons they had from 1973 through to 1975.
