Thank you for loading all these old matches, I or shall I say we enjoy watching it again. If you have and can upload super 10 and super 12 games as well. Much appreciated for the tests matches so far. 👍👍

[@dishevellednomad]

Thanks. There is one coming up in a couple of weeks from 1995. I am going away for a few months soon so trying to get a few uploaded and scheduled but think there will be a gap at the end of my absence. Glad you enjoy.

[@vandrevandermerwe2080]

@@dishevellednomad thank you very much 👍

For Woodward, Wilkinson and Vickery, the 2003 WC final victory over the Aussies must have felt sweet after going through that.

I've been looking for this game. I've heard stories from coaches about this and needed to see this for myself. *76-0 is a disgusting scoreline.*

[@nathanwilliams2152]

With an almost totally experimental lineup - Matt Perry at 13 for heavens sake. No Catt, Dallaglio, Grayson, Leonard, Johnson...almost ridiculous.

[@KmT81]

I didnt know this match,I saw England's match against France(5 Nations) and Italy it was Test matches for '99 World Cup Qualifications. Thanks for uploading. Is it possible to upload England v Australia 2000?

[@SJ-nb5ou]

Awesome upload! I remember this game well. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. You wouldn't happen to have Aus v Canada and Aus v Wales at Bally from '96? Or Aus v France in 1997 or Aus v Scotland in '98? Appreciate your videos Dishevelled Nomad.

[@dishevellednomad]

Glad you enjoyed. Aus vs canada I dunno. The others will probably be there but my filing system wasnt so good back then. Away for a bit yet. Will get back into it when I return

[@annefilippobertozzi7601]

The only good reason to upload such a wipeout was the Wilkinson’s debut.

[@St_AngusYoung]

Englands tour from hell. Demolished by Australia. Two heavy defeats to New Zealand. Then a loss to South Africa to finish the tour.

[@richardgrant418]

Another weekend treat 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@That_Ryan_Guy]

What a game! I missed the reason for the pushup boys, what was it? Fundraiser?? What a game to pick to do it...just glad I am not them. =) Thanks for the hard work dude!

[@dishevellednomad]

The comment got me thinking, a quick search and found this on The Roar from 2022. XXXX push-up boys These guys were a hit in the late 1990s in full floral shirts and shorts. The idea was slick. Every time the Reds scored points, the group of athletic lads would hit the turf and do push-ups to the number of the team’s total score. Once done, the boys would sit back on their XXXX eskies beyond the in-goal and have another beer. The crowd on the Ballymore Hill loved it. If the team scored back-to-back tries, you might have the boys punching out 15 push-ups and 22 shortly after. England’s visit to Suncorp Stadium in 1998 nearly killed them when Rugby Australia co-opted them for a Wallabies Test at Suncorp Stadium. By the time Ben Tune had scored his third try in the 76-0 rout, the boys were trying to do quick repeat sets of 50 and 60.

[@agustinburgos4855]

love this stuff. is there a chance you have any records of ireland touring australia? cant remember if it was 98 or 99, I think it was a close game.

[@dishevellednomad]

I haven't come across them yet, likely be something there, will post if I come across them.

[@footyfin]

Wasnt this a young Jonny Wilkinson's test debut?!

[@billymcfarlane]

Do u have the 2006 first test against England to upload please cos it was their first match under new coach John Connolly

[@keironstoneman6938]

The most depressing rugby match i ever saw. Honestly i thought we'd never get over this.

[@StFidjnr]

It is a Brisbane Bloodbath

[@nathanwilliams2152]

With Larkham and Roff place-kicking?? Why wasn't Eales doing that, if Matt Burke wasn't in the lineup?

[@billymcfarlane]

The audio was muted in the head to head segment NOT HAPPY

[@dishevellednomad]

Be as happy as you like, copyright in there so decided to leave the video in and mute the audio.

[@rh5466]

Yeah, seriously. Why don't you try showing a little bit of gratitude instead. Else bugger off and upload your own videos.
