1973 Gt Britain v Australia 2nd Test

This test fell well short of the 1st Test for creative skills but did not lack in intensity. Captain/Coach Langlands ruled out for the tour and debutant Eadie stepped up.
Eddie Waring’s sign at the end is a classic.

with the 10 minutes gone in the first half Great Britain four Australia nil just two penalty goals both kicked by Clon who’s there trying to get in the pack number [Music] eight ronus who was injured in the second half of the Test match at wendley 25 yd line and the Australians now settl in a little better to PO of position whether they get the points remains to be seen a try before halime would give them a lot of [Music] heart G O’Neal from anley and the six tackle coming up with Jeff Starling impation a penalty penalty by Billy Thompson below and the mantle on the tackle so Billy Thompson himself a former soccer player Bobby fton walking across and Graham IDI taking his uh first kick of the match go scored four tries and kicked five goals on tour straight kick straight in front should get it despite the strong wind which at this moment is not quite as of hurricane Force good crowd as you can see four points to nil oh Great Britain he bed it and his a goal a good goal Four Points to two and the kangaroo is jumping up and down right now with gramy de mean him pretty active now as a progressive fullback Four Points to two out of the former Australian St like Ken McCaffrey and Arthur Paul from that wonderful rugby place of Newcastle New South Wales amongst the Australians here watching this [Applause] match 25 yds line the Australians defending but in possession bunching a little bit go go dun man cl’s replace towards Nichols in the Great Britain side got out of that nicely as Tommy ronus Paul [Music] Sate and the rabito South Sydney that’s B riy R Manley waringer oh it’s oh it’s the knock [Applause] off it’s a knock on is just waiting to see if Australia will going to allow Advantage C Sullivan there Great Britain captain that kangaroo I don’t know what he’s going to be smiling at the end of the match but he’s smiling [Music] how Walter in getting the ball 5 to3 against Colin Clark and Against The Wind that might be some Advantage but it’s certainly an advantage in every other Direction with a score line of four points to two G Stevens [Music] Bobby Fon good pass to his half back partner ronas St into the waiting arms of Charlton but the position is right for Australia who keep brushing away at it I will obviously took a great Gumble by playing against the wind but at this stage I would say it’s spay dividends but quite a bit to go yet of course and the six tackle coming up in the 40 matches that the Australian played 339 points against 126 the only Club match with the l c 11 sub and there was the third match in four days but this is the match they want to win and must win oh good pass but a good tackle by fton and a good run by Charlton can to get through the last P still going I don’t think it’s fast enough to go now but he gr needed just J him with the CH G the wrong way as hes he realized that he turned back outside again and he gave the kangaroos chance to re-employ The Defenders that him though a good chance for mantle where when I say a good chance at least there was a little bit of possible open fors Great Britain now could the on pressure four four points to two knock on another knock on all right Advantage 3 to2 got out of behind very [Applause] well ronus is coming up on everything that’s loose and showing danger signals once he gets going and so there’s Walter the hooker taking all the time to get him down ter Clon did it eventually fton overy back inside to fton out to Enterprise in full back Eed and he’s still going strong still making yardage [Music] mcarthy back into this dangerous position for Great Britain could go on the first [Applause] there a FL was there and again the six tackle coming up as Gary Stevens was looking so close he’s in he’s in for the to he lost the ball I think he lost the ball well that was a remarkable thing as Bobby fton went over and he just diving in true typic Australian style and the ball shot right out of his hands and went straight away what a disappointment for full turn which would have probably done an awful lot to their Spirit however Still Remains a 6 to four and Away goes Nash being chased by Walters could he get it to topish what a great job Walters did but it’s the best individual run with that from Great Britain and Hines knocks off Thorson lwood losing the ball which is not for the first time this is hesk hesus haven’t been losing the ball a lot of time but other British players have been and it might cost them points in the end ronas the man we thought we be n a and I were the player of the Australian side in the first half Big B this is a chance for Bobby McCarthy he’s going to score I think he isn’t he has his second movement he right to try that feeling about a second movement number three hin is a feeling about his second movement as he went forward but it just looked as it it possibly went over Eric ashter with me what were your views on yes I think it’s momentum took him over the Ed I don’t think there’s any question about that uh I don’t think he grounded twice that’s for sure here he comes need to go now that’s six points to Great Britain nine to Australia and Australia with the wind who Rectify that it’s only one try the margin PA big Crowder [Applause] headingly ronz [Applause] pter and then J by mord R Williams number two ronas number seven and looks to me as if somebody let’s have a look at it looks to if Brian Lockwood have been sent off he has indeed to the right Brian lwood is going up he’s walking off and being sent off for a hard tackle elbow tackle against Bobby hton it was I think yes and that’s a blow to Brian lwood strong as ever used to be a center three quarter think it was s GES R win ball bit of two minutes actually those two be and little be quite fouls off the field that is oh did a little bit of hardness going into this and Australia getting possession from the loose malls as it were di inside pass to fton good inside pass to say it Australia looking strong at the moment biley Madison the [Applause] sub Great Britain defending now grimly with only the 12 men beatson can he get his pass in a lot of putting on the ground with a Vengeance as it were bow not having any real chance to get in the wide open spaces Chris hes trying to break through pH low and the referee going on for Bobby colon kneeling kneeling on Phil low two bigs [Applause] a and full a really again who’s playing very very well this time on topless very [Applause] cler Australian now having to do quite a lot of Defending Thon ah he left it behind him missed it if fow just a bit too low for him know what I mean b mcar got to hospital to have his shoulder right that brilliant side step oh this is looking dangerous now Paul S gone on his own he act to do because Sullivan was tracking full but he’s put play sh lost the ball well I don’t know what he did I think he kep a pass or something now calling Clark it was oh nice uh dummy by big buy and a penalty against D [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Lawson well that’s uh Bob O’Reilly or really whichever you want [Music] [Applause] d d the kicks and he keeps up the record in a good goal good goal donus Arthur beat this side and L Williams Pon got out of it Williamson still running the predictable things didn’t happen scrums are just in shading for Great Britain a good tackle but a good pass there paulate being a lively loose forward 25 yd line oh it’s a good run almost Gary Stevens not losing the ball the Australians when they’ve got it to the same tun that Great Britain have been doing 15 Madison run straight but effectively at time the goal post padded goal post at headingly the scoreboard end going to have a drop and and a good drop by Bobby Fon even though it counts only one point nevertheless it’s important to make it 12 points to six which means Britain’s Got to score twice now and his wing is there’s nobody out there except Hind laon and laon to a and somebody pointed to the dressing and doing it very well David weit in this occasion quite legitimate nothing nothing wrong unless the referee is called held and they’ been told not to call H too soon either new instructions oh good oniss good Sol of FO ball to bring on late in the game even though mcar went off garish Stevens they not able to finish the ball with the same tune that the kangaroos have done it ban oh he did well there get it out there’s two to two to no cover except the full back but he’s going to run out of play I think and it’s a dead ball or is he going to give a penalty going to give a a [Applause] penalty Tuesday we’ve got CL flood LIF match with leads playing at LKR here it Le we got G he the kick in and it’s a beautiful [Music] [Applause] goal 14 points to six for Australia with goals being the major part of the scoring in this match and we’ve got left to play only a matter of 90 seconds plus injury time the dark clouds come over [Music] headingly Australia striding to equal the test series with one all and one to play did I say is it warington next we got a Hing of that going of be Helen Dixon number 15 still a clean Jersey hesus good Tacko on the Big G Bly Bob Gary death darling rather death darling could be a bit of trouble it’s not worth it to this stage certainly not from the not from anybody’s point of view referee talking to who he’s talking to Atkinson and he’s talking to ronas turning it back inside the Australians have managed to contain as Phil low this afternoon but he hasn’t had the running chances that he had at Wembley esus V so far and he’s passed inside uh to Ray granigan back to Fon back to granan and this is the sort of football got a we got a Great Britain player ined on the on the halfway line so they’re back to [Applause] hes now the back for the off and a penalty in the front row and it came on as a sub for manle B Dixon showing the ball not kicking it but at least Great Britain is still having to go to the end civan who hasn’t seen much of the ball this afternoon and that wasn’t a pretty good pass at all and this could be another Australian try to Williamson is he in has he given the try I think think is is in touch has he given the try no it’s no try no try at the corner flag so Mr hardy signaled that the corner flag went and no [Applause] try 4 minutes injury time second half and Great Britain and all points scored in the first half

lost chance ball lost play on six tackles to come for Great Britain now they’re going to get the constellation try near the end Stevie Nash probably gone into trouble and he had five men outside Atkins up but if he scores he’ll be thought a hero Atkinson with hands up in the air wanting the ball on the side of this left wing side B low 45 seconds ball lost again A Tale of lost Dan Paul
