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
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).
@nikolaucznaum4312 wrong. When chasing the play, you can shoulder players out of the way if they are competing for the same running line. He did not trip him, nor push with his hands, but shouldered him out of the way when they were both competing for the same spot on the field. Perfectly legal. Check the rules. Otherwise, it could equally be said the defender interfered with a support player, and if not shouldered out of the way, would have taken him out of play. Shouldering someone in that situation is legal...... Australia had the ball, not England. Did the English defender impede the running line of a support player? Play on.. Fair try
Mal meninga himself admitted he was a hopeless goal kicker, though when he HAD to kick vital goals (origin 2 1990, origin 3 1991, 1992 WC final) he NAILED them

Greatest Game of Rugby League Ever Played.
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).
How was the atmosphere?
@@henrythompson5224 Unbelievable!
Vale David Morrow, his commentary in this game was legendary! Greatest Test I ever watched.
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.
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
The Poms won the first Test, and looked like winning the Ashes at home for the first time since 1959. Then Tricky stood up.
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.
I’m a massive Hull KR fan and remember this like it was yesterday . And what a brilliant commentary
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...
Apart from Alexander, mal meninga was the sole goal kicker in the 1990 squad
The same Michael O'Connor who kicked 0/3 in the 1991 origin decider??
the best test series!, why dont we play them anymore!!!!!
John Gray and Stephenson came here and landed goals from everywhere kicking round the corner and we still persisted with our method
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.
However, he did prevent Stewart from being tackled by making an off-the-ball infringement, Watch the footage!!....
@nikolaucznaum4312 no he didn't.
He used his shoulder, not his hands to push foe position.
Perfectly legal.
@@bornyesterday1895 No, it is not legal, you can't interfere with a competitor who does not have the ball!!...

@@bornyesterday1895 Not in international rules, evedence me the rule book, please?
Greatest test match ever played
Still hurts today- so good to see GB V AUS again
"Abit of a facial in the play the ball" hahaha 😂
I cringe watching Mal Meninga Toe Bashing goal kicks
Mal meninga himself admitted he was a hopeless goal kicker, though when he HAD to kick vital goals (origin 2 1990, origin 3 1991, 1992 WC final) he NAILED them
Why does it say at 6:34 12 - 6 to Australia, then when the Brits score off Stuarts intercept pass the score then goes to 10 all
NRL " Look how good international league is!"....Fan.." Can we have some more?".... NRL " Nah pro players need their rest, clubs dont want players hurt in the off season"
I cannot believe the Aussies never had a back up kicker
Awesome 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Mal has to be the worst goal kicker in history
