If Andy had not scored that try at @ 6.47 Gary certainly would have. Superstar sprinting acquaintance of mine when we were just kids. 1971-72, i did beat Gary once but i did have a pretty good head start on him that day. :-))
this was unquestionably the dirtiest touring team - possibly the dirtiest team in rugby league history. The sheer amount of late hits - high shots - flopping on after a tackle - punches in the tackle this team made was off the scale . You can see bits of it in this and one of the reasons they lost this game is the ref at least attempted to address it.
In the 3rd test v great britain...didnt david watkinson get a good hiding off about 3...heard goodway got punched off sorenson and wouldnt go on in the 2nd half...sure the police ended up on the pitch when everyone joined in
I remember watching this match live on TV in New Zealand, we expected to win comfortably, after beating the Australians earlier on in the year.

That was a good forward pack the Kiwis fielded....definitely the 2nd string backline though.

I remember this game mainly for the rain in the second half. Never seen rain like it. You could barely see across to the Popular Side.
Umm that last try was not grounded😂😂😂
Wigan..... best side ever to play Rugby League In history 👍
I remember the 80's kiwis they sucked big time😂😂😂
Dirty kiwis
