    A lot of memories here.
    The games changed in 40 years.
    Not so free flowing as it is today.
    No so big on 5th tackle kicks
    Wingers built like tanks that can dive and place a ball with pin point accuracy..
    Imagine if they had the punch ups like they did then, half the players would of been in the sin bin or sent off.
    I am glad .that kind of violence is not tolerated or common now in these big clashes.
    The beginning of the reign of
    King Wally
    Love or hate him he was a brilliant player for his time along with a few others in that squad.

    Certainly a step down in quality from the 82 & 86 teams. Although the To&Froms were better as well with Schofield & Hanley beginning their careers.

    Briton David Hobbs was banned for three games and fined $1000 for his elbow on Greg Conescu in the dying seconds. Hobbs sent one of Conescu’s front teeth flying. However the Aussie declared himself available for all footie after visiting a dentist three days later.

    Mate, do you realize how culturally and historically important your channel is? As Australia devolves into a "woke" society of sooks, people like me can come here and relive the "god old days". Memories of an age when hard men played hard games and women were actual real, biological, women. It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely sane, natural and made sense. So, thanks heaps, brutha. 😃

      Rugby Union & League was a game that tested the fabric of a man’s masculinity. I’m not a fan of cheap shots but how that player overcomes cheating is the element that brings fans to the game.

I'm just surprised is all that it was still in use so late.. maybe only in rugby terminology? And I'm not woke and love my pommy mates - rule Britannia.

      It’s been called Great Britain since England and Scotland joined in about 1700. Later GB and Ireland. Now GB and Northern Ireland, as in United Kingdom of. Doesn’t mean it’s great, just a sense of bigger than just England, I.e the island of England, Wales and Scotland.
