Apologies if you answered before, but do you remember the name of the commentator on this and the other international rugby of the time on ABC?
In this video he starts talking at ~ 1:45

@@dishevellednomadAh; Found the answer to my question below (and once before)
The “voice of rugby” - Gordon Bray
Wikipedia- “Bray has commentated at nine Olympic Games, five Commonwealth Games, and nearly 400 rugby internationals
- including ALL NINE Rugby World Cups” How “lucky” is he!
Hang on, he did several for 10 Sport - up till the 2019
Stan’s commenting on the last RWC was okay.
But - from what I remember of him ~ 20 years ago, Bray commented more “actively” - on more moves; was better informed , and more (is it?) incisive. He didn’t just call it, he added to the enjoyment of the game
IMHO
Shame Stan didn’t get him. I guess they wanted a younger face
