Talking about rugby..

Someone posted the 2nd Test v the British Lions 2002 on YouTube about a month ago, so I cut out 2 of Joe's more significant tries. For those who remember the golden age of Aussie Rugby, the Wallabies lost the 1st Test and looked like they were up against an unbeatable force. It seemed that the Lions were going to go on with it in the 2nd Test (11-6 Lions at half time and looking strong).

Joe said "No".

This is probably his finest 5 minutes in the gold jersey.



Now he gets to swan around on cruise boats, drink free booze and get box seats to World Cup games, while some poor sap is on Kate's blow-up...

Great work, Jake - keep combing the files! Those Lions tries have to be among the most important in Australian Rugby history and will be talked about for many years to come. keep up the great work.

Despite all that didn't George Gregan get Man-of-the-Match in that game? What does it take?

Woeful commentating!

Try 1: "I think he might of dropped it."

Try 2: "The key was the timing of the pass from Larkham" (before Roff beat 3)
