Gordon Bray with Simon Poidevin and Chris Handy. Gordon had lots of little facts around players and the games, but in my opinion was a bit to heavy on the use of adverbs and superlatives, but knew his stuff.
At around 23.00, one of the commentators stated that Frank Bunce was the oldest All Black ever. Not so. Edward Hughes (26 April 1881 - 1 May 1928) played in the first two of three tests, in August 1921, against the Springboks, making him 40 at the time. My late father used to point this out, & he also knew very well Jack Steel, who played in all three Bok clashes in 1921; going on to become an 'Invincible' in 1924/25.
New Zealand (33) - Australia (18) was a Very Good game for a Rugby Union Football Game Match which was been played at the (MCG Melbourne Cricket Ground) in Melbourne away in (1997) & especially Chris Handy who was having an Half Time interview with a North Melbourne AFL Player of Cory McKernan who said that he seen both of the Rugby League & Rugby Union & he preferred Rugby Union Football Code is because it was simply a more of a free flowing game & also more kicking of game than Rugby League Football Code & besides both of Simon Poidevin & Gordon Bray of course. The (MCG Melbourne Cricket Ground) also had hosted Sports other than both Australian Rules Football Code & Cricket like the (3 Three) other Football Codes all of Soccer, Rugby League & Rugby Union & Also including Non-Sporting Events like Music Concerts as well too of course.
Thanks uploading this match. Please can you upload as many All Blacks test matches between 1996 and 2002 as possible if you can.

This game has that imo really good commentator. Knows his stuff, and makes good comments “around” what is happening

Great info. Thanks. Yes that will pop up quite often. Have certainly heard it on multiple occasions.
