@@christouvelos4897 channel 7. I remember the first test definitely on 7 with Rex in the studio and most of the first half dropping out due to problems with the satellite.

@@eagleeric2598 i think your thinking of the 1978 tests which Mossop commentated. Seven started in 1975 with TV, apart from some ad hoc 60s games.

@@christouvelos4897 no, I do clearly remember the 1st test of 1973, Rex was in the studio and introduced the English coverage.

After the free flowing opening test match this was a dour, hard fought encounter. Maybe my memory failing me but I thought I remembered this game being broadcast in colour?

[@eagleeric2598]

Not in Australia, pre colour but it is an English broadcast although never seen any colour footage.

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

Graham Eadie was an outstanding fullback.

Gotta love the Wombat

[@GeorgeKeever]

Seem to remember the Aussies being the better side overall but G.B. never got to terms with being a man down.

Great match. Eadie's kicking was great but Tommy's punches were better!!
