Raiders V Great Britain 1992

Post by **100%green** » June 22, 2012, 10:24 pm

I have been trying to remember this for years and finally found a video. You only see us quickly at the start but you see the special jerseys we had for the game.

Also makes me long for the old days of tours much like Union still have with Wales at the moment. in this video you'll see GB play the Eels, Knights and Steelers and a packed game against the Aussies.....Aaahh the old days!!!

Those were the best days, I wish they still did these tours, and I wish they would bing back the 7s and pre season tournament.

In the 1st test highlights ET got burned , you wouldnt see that too often back then

Just on those highlights , they failed to show the Aussies winning the 1st test , also after looking it up they also didnt show GB losing to Parra

We look too much like the Brumbies for my liking.

Wow, those jumpers were very different. I always laugh at how big they were compared to the ones these days.

Went to the Newcastle game.

The Eels game was the 1 where Lee Oudenryn raced Martin Offiah http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K-pyGmWKXs

Bigger jerseys and the players weren't as big as they are now!

Yep, went to Jerseys to grab one - got one. Then got asked, did they win? Didn't know the answer. Thanks TW.

Piss poor crowd too, bit over 4000

I reckon if a touring side came out these days it would be 15k +

By Jonathan Davies - the union convert that left Brett Mullins for dead at Wembley.

Spent some time at Canterbury and South Queensland. A remarkable player.

Davis played for NQ as well. He was brilliant.

The Poms were quite good back in the day. It's a shame their quality dipped for a while there.

Davies didn't quite go as well as expected in League. Fantastic rugby player but didn't quite make it in the NRL as hoped.
