Great to hear some of those stories. As an Aussie kid in the 80’s I used to think Mark Graham was a legend amongst those kiwi players.

Just watched the first test from 85. Mark wasn't just cleaned up, a cheap forearm from Noel Cleal knocked him out before he hit the ground. But thats how the game was played then, noone was an angel :)
