I was lucky enough to be at this game and the place erupted when Kevin Iro scored in the last few minutes. That was one of the greatest Aussie teams we beat and we did it by smashing them off the park. The Aussies always promote origin as the toughest, best league on the planet but the kiwis laid that myth to rest once and for all that night. Was it the greatest kiwi team ever? I’d give them the edge over the world champion 2008 kiwi team because Ridgey had a match winning boot on him…
Iro. What a try. Maybe his most important ever. The amazing thing is that with Tony Iro, McCracken and Henry Paul playing up front we literally started the game with 10 backs on the field -- and Kevin Iro wasn't even one of them!
@J G you mean the game where if someone just brushes the opposition, they roll on the ground for 10 metres clutching their shin pads and screaming as if they need to go into ICU and hold up the game for 10 minutes while still crying and then stand up limping on the wrong leg and clutching their shoulder because they've actually injured that from rolling on the ground for no reason while their teammates are having an argument over nothing with the ref because their mate is nearly dying while another opposition player is Conjuring up ideas on how to do a better version of how to be fake injured. It only tells you that your stats on the greater population that play football is a worrying sign that only pussies should be playing football. On ya mate
Looks like League was a lot faster back then,also the backs run into the line like forwards,good old days before the wrestling tactics
RL of 98 is so fast! Bring back retro speed in the RL.
When I looked at the names of the following players for both the Kangaroos and Kiwis...all I can say is....Unbelievable talent!!!
True that. Graham Lowe said during the commentary ‘there’s millions of dollars of rugby league talent on show tonight’…
Great game from kiwi's, on paper one of the best Australian sides

Bloody hell Kiwi legends in this team ☝️
My all time fav game between Strayah and Kiwis..
And I reckon this Kiwi team is the greatest team ever bar none…
@J G massively popular amongst whiny bitches you meant to say there. They'd get put straight into ambulances on the footy field they're so fragile
