It was probably the best game of rugby seen in the last 100 years Andy.
Still a draw in extra time until the magic boot kicked a field goal.
Capacity crowd (100 000??) and a very big portion of the crowd wearing the
English rose. Bet there were some English headaches the next morning!!
A big plus - the good behaviour of the crowd including the visitors from
the UK in contrast to some of the hoooliganism which has marred games of
soccer elsewhere.All in good humour though some of the OZ team looked a
little depressed after the game.
BTW rugby is only played seriously in two Australian states - Queensand
and New South Wales. The southern and western states play Australian
rules, which is something of a religion there. Soccer is beginning to loom
large too with Western Australia the premier state at present. Big ethnic
community here and they are soccer mad. Maybe some day we will give
England a run for its money in soccer!! Well, I can dream can't I?
