Big difference in how the blokes look then and now. 1982, bald, long hair, beards, no attitude, all cotton jumpers and woolly long socks. Today ... whiny pretty boys in Lycra.
love to beat great britain but would love to see great britain back to their best,we australia obviously changed to a more american football coaching style and maybe fitness a telling diference
What sort of man runs away from his own native language speaking society for luxury goods? (Those who came to Australia from Britain during the 'Gold Rush' and who made the choice to remain in Australia AFTER the gold petered-out were making a choice NOT to migrate to the rich and verdant U.S.A. where "beef was so plentiful that it was scarcely of any value", (Adam Smith, 1830s). (Third World society which has two dozen chickens in each backyard plus garden vegetables -- Is not like the Irish Potato Famine.)
Peter Sterling the greatest half back to ever play the game

'No attitude' is very big point -- (As the saying is "Its not whether you win or lose . . .")
👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣
Can't even be bothered with it nowadays.
@@marknorris1381 I'm not interested in it, haven't been for years.
@@TheHandymanQld agreed, if the ref made a bad decision back then the players just got on with it
When the game was the greatest game of all
It had a different demographic -- Different level of 'sensibility' -- (The working class was once the 'Poetic Class' -- Not the 'Scab Class')
Best touring side i saw over here in uk. How lucky we were to see a few of those players over here a cpl of years later
Drumond what a Waste of Space on A Rugby League Field.
One wonders how Sterling is never in the immortals conversation.
Mate, absolutely.
In my time along with steve knocker norton, the 2 best players at hull fc
Great days of footy
The Invincibles
my god the english twice the size of the aussies,but the aussies fearless
This is what you call "classic" footy.
Ref had his pocket filled for sure
The Aussies bashed the daylights out of each other at home, honed their shills, saw GB had nothing. Fun times.
Great Australian team the mighty English had a great go.

REF IS A JOKE LOL
That French referee - legend. Actually, fitter than most of the English side!!!!
Amazing to think he was able to ref it and not speak english i think
They say the players are fitter these days but back then they only had a 5 M rule and the ball got passed around more than it does now
A pronounceable Australian lineup.
So you cannot speak clearly now? Or are you just racist
What you tryna say?

Is this Australia's best ever side?
@stevvvvveperry Any side that has Mal Meninga on the bench must be pretty good.
They always try and take the head off the Aussies
40:4 with only 3 point tries
Did the Brits offer this ref a deal for the number of minutes he let them keep the ball???
👍
In Rugby League the ball is passed by hand -- Anyone can do that -- Soccer is great for a team of circus jugglers.
In "soccer" they spend more time pretending to be hurt. They wouldn't last the first set of tackles in a men's game.
Soccer seems to be inhabited by the most unethical people.
and little sissies taking a dive any time someone touches them. Poor actors who should get an award The Hamsters
So what! it's played in a few towns in England.
Where men are men !
This refereee was worse than rotten ......disgusting is a word.
Dreadfully biased commentary, rotten biased refereeing, would have thoght a French guy would not do that.
Go tha Aussies 🇦🇺
