2001..GUINNESS TEST SERIES..2nd Test..GB v Australia

[David-ghmy]

Great videos Shaun. I was at some of these games some I watched at home or in the pub. One thing is for certain the pain is no less watching the defeats than it was all those years ago, nor the euphoria for the wins. Many thanks for sharing them.

Harrigan actually gave the British more dubious rulings than he did the Aus tralians.

[Holden]

Actually Hemmings was wrong about Mal Reilly not changing a winning side in 1990. Prop Andy Platt came into the 2nd test side with very little football under his belt. That pushed Paul Dixon back to the 2nd row and Roy Powell back to the bench. Paul Laughlin also came onto the bench replacing Karl Fairbank.

[HenriHattar]

I would NOT call the first test a STUNNING victory for the British, 20 to 12...a win but not a stunning win.

[pariscasey]

Harrigan was best on ground for GB! Absolute shocker!

[HenriHattar]

Fielden "looking" at the ball? The runners were ALSO offside by miles.

How was Sculthorpes try a great build up for G B? it was a great build up for Britain by Harrigan.

[iangrantham]

I think Harrigan did a lousy job....G B was off side almost every play the ball, missed or just didnt call a lot of scrum feeds to the wrong team and could not care less about the high head hunting of most of the G B tackles.

[paulrichardson]

harrigan was trying to give gb a bit of a break, a complete rout dosnt profit anyone.

[harryhatter]

Harrigan WAS NOT fair and even handed....heck any one wud think G B was paying him


he was a joke

[paulrichardson]

stevoo keeps saying get into their face . in other words biff, , thats the main problem with brit league, they work on the biff and fall behind on fitness and skill. it is always the case, we turn them over in the last quarter nearly every game .

You can't expect a team that has been playing for 20 years to beat a team that's played for 100. We play league at every level, all the men in my family played league from kids up. AUSTRALIAN men are just harder than English men ..it's a fact. Hahaha
