- A look back at highlights of the Wallabies back line play over time including their World Cup victory in 1999 and victory over the British & Irish Lions in 2001 - part 3 of 9 - part 4 here • Wallaby Backline Highl...
99 was the Tim Horan show. What a player!
They certainly had a really quick backline that played at pace and kept the ball alive, simples innit. They also had one of the best ever number 9 in imho
Yes that was Australias golden era and look at the crowds they got back then-Sydney 1999 107,042-Sydney 2000 109,874-Sydney 2001 90,978.
Look at the precision of Larkham's passing from fly-half
Best Wallaby squad ever
The Wallabies during this period had a great captain in John Eales and a superb back line headed by Gregan and Larkham.
the work by the forwards was so good in those days
Wallabies golden era And now it's fading away;(The team has to rebuild.
Australian flair is gone
Greegs, Bernie, Horan, Little/Herbert, Roffy, Tune, Burkey then later sailor, rogers, walker = glory dayzzz
Ah, I was hoping for Andrew Walker's amazing jinking running tries against the Maori and the Lions from 2001
What has happened since then, Australia is falling way behind.
NRL took over Australia I guess lol majority of "good" players preferred League over Union.
Australia backline now has flair but no structure
Nice play australia keep it up 2020
The game structure now is way different from back then...mostly all teams have improved closing the gap with tier 1 nations...Aussie seems to be stagnant while others are catching up or slightly ahead.
farkk thy were good
.now thy cake.lol
Might not have a rugby side next year....
When we were decent.
This kind of run is hard to do nowadays given that other teams have improved defensively and immensely on structure and how the game is played...everything has its time...Now it's a different era.
Now Aussie is not so good...they need to catch up...
I loved these days but would take for granted these victories. Eddie Jones was the last good coach Australian rugby had. (He went on to coach a world cup winning team for Southafrica yet the powers that be here thought letting him go was a smart idea). We then had Robbie Deans come in with no idea of our particular rugby culture & he tried to turn the play style into a traditional european way. Wtf was that moron thinking. South of the equator rugby was and forever should be broken play & open, creative, assault-style rugby, not trench warfare bs in the forwards. Boring as fk. Deans ruined it, Mackenzie tried to clean up the mess. Now we have alot of talent but no gel. Hate to sound like a fleeting fan, but I'll come back to the game when Australia has a solid coaching unit.
