Thanks. there are some names in there that bring back some memories ... along with a few that I had forgotten about. Andrew Farrar is drawing a complete blank for me. Either I'm suffering early onset dementia or he must have been a real bolter that year

I've got this game on dvd.

Wally broke his arm, Alf scored two tries- game didn't reach any great heights.

Canterbury and Balmain dominated the side because they'd played the GF, everyone else had been on holdiays.
