@@percyfree9831 whoever thought Swinton was a test venue wanted their head testing. Yes they got on with it but for the decider to played in those condutions was ridiculous.
@popeyedish players very capable in those days, was right to play, shows th pathetic people with influence on our game that Coote only gets Immortal status now,a all time great Ron
Ground was icy. England did not want to play due to the conditions. Chang convinced Raper they should take advantage of England's reluctance and they should play the game. Remember watching highlights on TV. The 1967 Kangaroos featured on the back of the Scanlens Gums rugby league cards
Thank you very much indeed, Eric! 😊
Welcome!
Wonderful highlights, beaut tha Cooty won best player award, Gallagher stand out in all games, Raper superb, King mighty finisher on wing
Gallagher was great. Didn't realise how good he was until I watched these tests. And captain of the 2nd Test
Btw..Gasnier and Langlands , absolute legends
Great win by the Aussies!
The pitch was frozen solid, and the match shouldn't have been played. Was the infamous Bowler hat tour ??
They got on with game and played well

To Australia's advantage, like the 3rd test of 1973
Yes it was.

1967 &1973, 3rd tests much the same condition
Milward and Bishop and Watson for England. Half of Cronullas fire power right there.
