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?
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?
Love these old games. This was rugby.
I love watching these early 70’s matches. Especially internationals
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.

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.
Nice flick pass for Great Britain’s third try.
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
GB played with a second string pack .
