Dunbar Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 In 1977 Auckland defeated Australia, Great Britain and France in the same year.... not a bad achievement at all.

Dunbar Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Let's face it, if you were a young fella in the mid-1980s you weren't watching that show for Captain Kirk. Can't deny that as I am a Trekkie at heart. Although Heather Locklear was a bonus and one reason for watching (as was Catherine Bach as Daisy in Dukes of Hazzard and Heather Thomas as Jody Banks in The Fall Guy)! But I digress.

JonM Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I've got some mid-eighties New Zealand Rugby League annuals at home, so I could check, but I reckon it was probably Lindsay Hooker, who took part in the '87 Auckland tour to GB. Only sticks in my mind because he was called hooker and played at no. 9... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futtocks Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Here's some info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1984_New_Zealand_rugby_league_season Quote - Auckland were coached by Bob Bailey and included; Darrell Williams, Cedric Lovett, Dean Bell, captain Ron O'Regan, Joe Ropati, Shane Cooper, Clayton Friend, Kevin Tamati, Lindsay Hooker, Ricky Cowan, John Ackland, Steve Howells and Owen Wright. Bench: Afi Ah Kuoi and John Zwart. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

JonM Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Was that why GB lost 3-0 against the Aussies and then the same against the Kiwis? Our worst ever tour. Garry Schofield as a teenager scored one of the greatest GB tries ever in the Brisbane test, easy to forget what a great player he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh2yhvtgkvY About 1m in 30 in - maybe not quite as good as I remembered, but certainly goes the full length of the pitch passing through quite a few pairs of hands before Schofield finishes.
