I was at this game as a 14yr old... I'm telling you now, this was the highest quality football ever played! Both teams were off the scale talent wise... As tense as you get with a heart breaking finish (if you're British).

over 33 years ago. my fav sporting moment. the only time in my life I ever jumped off the lounge and ran around. what a game, what a try. what a memory

Greatest Game of Rugby League Ever Played.

Vale David Morrow, his commentary in this game was legendary! Greatest Test I ever watched.

This age of goal kickers are something else compared to back then

Well the balls are made a bit differently, and long range shots from 50 meters and such were a lot more common than today

What a game this was to watch back then. Broke my heart as a pom, but just brilliant footy. We had pretty decent side then, just not good enough.

Ridiculous that they don't play Ashes series anymore, one of the things people outside the sport recognise about it

no more kangaroo tours either, everything used to be better before.

Meninga had the afterburners on chasing Ricky Stuart at the end there. God help anyone in front of him when he got that ball, he was full tilt.

The Poms won the first Test, and looked like winning the Ashes at home for the first time since 1959. Then Tricky stood up.

Oh man, those names all playing together...

If ever the 'Roos needed the boot of Snozz O'Connor, it was in this match. (Smell-Me-Finger had a shocka with his attempts at goal)

Imagine if they'd lost by 4 and O'connor was there the whole time...
