Mine as well.

A good mate of mine played in that one, and scored a great try from 70 yards out. I miss him a lot.

Four Nations Final 2014 was a belter. Watch that and have a good laugh at the Aussies who say Shaun Johnson is/was no good.

Beat me to it. Great game.

1992 WC final was also a classic.

Samoa v NZ at the 2013 RLWC.

Andrew Voss commentary, and the crowd make it something special. Plus that SBW moment.

For older footage (and to see how camera-work has moved on since), here's the 1968 World Cup Final.

 

That was great.

Hello All,

As a relative newcomer to RL (been following for around 5 years). I'm looking for recommendations on classic matches to watch on you tube during the off season. Particularly internationals, NRL and State of Origin. Many Thanks

Wigan v Hull 1985. The classic of all classics

[JohnH685 2]

Sorry I've double posted this!!

[Rodill Rover 35]

1978. 5th November. GB v Australia at Odsal . Included a tough as teak front row of Mills, Fisher and Lockwood and the best British standoff I have ever seen in Roger Millward. And of course a GB win.

Fairbairn; Wright, Joyner, Dyl, Atkinson; Millward (captain), Nash; Mills, Fisher, Lockwood, Nicholls, Lowe, Norton. 
Subs. Holmes, Rose.

It’s ok . First one was classic internationals. Been some brutal origins , or you could just cut to the chase and see greatest origin punch ups . Which I may have watched a few times

Fiji beating NZ in the 17 RLWC.

I though the 1987 CC Final was a great game, doesn't get the kudos it deserves.

Also the 1990 1st and 2nd Tests Gt Britain v Australia

1985 NZ v Australia and Great Britain series were all great games, plenty of action.

1986 3rd Test Gt Britain v Australia for GB's great tries and the brilliant passing game of Harry Pinner.

Yeesh, that game was a slog but.

Brisbane v Wigan 1994 World Club Challenge. A fantastic win in a packed ground against all odds in Australia. Wigan v Manly 1987 too in the World Club Challenge.

[Saint 1 1,627]

Not sure if these are old enough to be considered classics but:

2013 RLWC Semi Final - England v NZ

2010 NRL playoffs - Roosters vs Wests

Both are definitely worth watching
