@@thenugents9040 kick and clap is a term used by rugby league fans as a swipe at rugby union rules, where the back's recieve the ball from the half back, sorry scrum half and they constantly kick it into the opposition's half upfield or into touch the crowd are impressed by this so they all clap,as the forwards amble upfield puffing and blowing to the lineout or the scrum the process is then repeated again and again so out of an eighty minute game you'll probably get sixty minutes actual action.
Regardless of any try that never was, what can't be denied is that this team won over a team which included two of Australia's original Rugby League Immortals in Langlands and Fulton. Not to mention other class players in the Aussie line up. The Final in Lyon on 11 November 1972 might ended in a 10-all draw in the end, but Great Britain's form through the tournament was undeniable, winning all 3 of their matches: Great Britain def. Australia 27-21 @ Stade Gilbert Brutus in Perpingnan (29 October) Great Britain def. France 13-4 @ Stade Lesdiguières in Grenoble (1 November) Great Britain def. New Zealand 53-19 @ Stade du Hameau in Pau (4 November) I'm an Aussie, but Great Britain were deserved 1972 World Cup Champions.
Sullivan was a fantastic winger. Terry Clawson played a couple of seasons in the Newcastle, 🇦🇺 competition. A pity they didn’t show Langlands’ chip kick to Ward which was incorrectly disallowed. In those days we had strong international competition.
It was actually a bomb from Dennis Ward that Graeme Langlands chased through and caught. The sad thing is that the replay showed him to be about a metre onside. After the game, referee Georges Jameau happened to see a replay while he was getting changed and realising his error in disallowing the try, went to the Australian change room to personally apologize to Langlands. But then, how do you really apologize knowing that your mistake cost a team the World Cup?
