1973 Gt Britain v Australia 2nd Test
Спорт
This test fell well short of the 1st Test for creative skills but did not lack in intensity. Captain/Coach Langlands ruled out for the tour and debutant Eadie stepped up.
Eddie Waring's sign at the end is a classic.

Graham Eadie was an outstanding fullback.

Gotta love the Wombat
After the free flowing opening test match this was a dour, hard fought encounter. Maybe my memory failing me but I thought I remembered this game being broadcast in colour?

@@eagleeric2598 i think your thinking of the 1978 tests which Mossop commentated. Seven started in 1975 with TV, apart from some ad hoc 60s games.

@@christouvelos4897 no, I do clearly remember the 1st test of 1973, Rex was in the studio and introduced the English coverage.
Seem to remember the Aussies being the better side overall but G.B. never got to terms with being a man down.
Great match. Eadie's kicking was great but Tommy's punches were better!!
