Some fantastic players on both sides in that era. Back then international rugby league was the pinnacle of the sport. Ron Coote was outstanding. People forget what a tough player, half back, Billy Smith was. He had all the skills; rugged defence, strong in attack and a sound ball player.

Interesting video ! Old school RL 😊

this fellow hasn't got a clue. Mal REILLY admitted in interview years later that he and the GB TEAM THOUGHT they could win the match as well as bash up the AUSSIES, BUT ended up loosing both. THE FIGHTS BROKE OUT after the final whistle WHEN THE GB WINGER ATKINSON HEAD BUTTED THE AUSSIE FULLBACK ERIC SIMMS. BIG MISTAKE AS ERIC IS AN ABORIGINAL FELLOW WHO WAS MORE THAN CAPABLE HOLDING HIS HANDS UP, SO ATKINSON COPPED A PASTING.

Was there a video of the game 🤔 all I saw was a guy prattle on

Bring back the punch up, rugby league in australia has become lame with constant stop and starts to go the video ref, penalties that aren't penalties and atrocious calls in each and every game.
