The Golden Decade - Rugby Union signed
Listing # 1312

Celebrating 10 years of classic Wallaby magic. It began in 1991 at Lansdowne Road. With the Wallabies on the verge of a shock world cup exit at the hands of the Irish,all seemed lost. But with just one moment of individual brilliance, Michael Lynagh broke the hearts of the expectant hosts and sent the Australian supporters wild with an against-all-odds try… Lynagh's match-winning try In the World Cup quarterfinal, Michael Lynagh single-handedly snatches the game away from the Irish with a try created from sheer willpower. Campese's miracle pass In the World Cup semi-final, David Campese twists the All Black defence in and out, then throws a bold, brilliant 'no-look' pass to send Tim Horan in for a decisive try. Gregan's match-saving tackle Four minutes left on the clock, and an All Black Bledisloe Cup-winning try seems a certainty… until a young George Gregan comes to the rescue, with a ball-popping, eye-popping tackle. Larkham's unforgettable drop goal Deep into extra time in a World Cup semi-final with the scores welded together, and Steve Larkham chooses this moment to try his first drop-goal in international Rugby. A very good choice, as he puts Australia back on the road to ultimate glory 1 week later. Eales' Bledisloe-winning penalty Another Bledisloe cliffhanger. Time has run out… Australia are 2 points adrift… and the regular kicker is off the field. Miss the attempt, and lose the Cup. Make the kick, and win the Cup. Up steps John Eales… Mortlock's Tri-Nations clincher In an almost identical situation to the Eales kick 3 weeks prior, Australia's choices are again, simple: miss the kick, lose the Tri Nations Cup - slot the kick, and win it. However… regular kicker Stirling Mortlock is ON the field this time. Harrison's Lions line-out steal Playing in his first Test, and with the series teetering on the next passage of play, Justin Harrison makes a crucial steal from a rampaging Lions team, and makes the game… and the series, safe for Australia.
