England v Wallabies Match Highlights (1984 Grand Slam)

The first Test Match on the historic 1984 Grand Slam Tour of the British Isles was played against a strong England side. This video is the first of a series of packages that MyRugbyTV plans to showcase on the historic tour.

Whoever that Brit who makes the break at 1:24 is running a 4.3 40. That pace is rare.

I was at this game. Gareth Chilcot, making his debut, could have been sent off for a blatant punch in the first half - repeating what he had done to me when he was brought in as a ringer for a match in Bristol between two scratch sides, except he punched me in the balls (I am six foot five, and it was his attempt to stop me winning all the lineout ball!). We both stayed on the pitch, unlike their other prop who was put out of commission by our front row. I told him about these incidents at a Twickenham corporate event in 1998 - he denied all recollection of both events. I thought he might have at least offered something, a handshake, a bit of banter perhaps, wasn't really expecting an apology! Shame, seems he has no class about him.
