No Wallaby side had ever beaten Wales and at the start of a gruelling four-and-a-half month tour, the press gave this Australian side no chance. But when Waltzing Matilda rang out in full chorus from the Cardiff crowd, these men knew they had a date with destiny. They were the 5th Wallabies - and sometimes... they were the best ever.
This is a an excerpt from the 2017 documentary "Sometimes the Best Ever", made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 5th Wallaby tour of the British Isles, France and Canada: www.theoclarkmedia.com/store/p...

"Cardiff Arms Park; it was like a Catholic going to the Basilica". New Zealanders have always felt the same way. My parents toured Great Britain in 1980 and visited Cardiff. My father said the highlight of the holiday was being allowed to walk out on to the playing field. My mother said he looked like he was walking on hallowed ground.

Barry John's first match. Fantastic run from him at 5:53 Nice to see the clip with Cliff Morgan at the end.

This Wallaby side also beat England 23-11 in early 1967. Strangely it was the same score the All Blacks beat England by in late 1967.

well done Wallabies

Australia has always been a force in favourable conditions, on a firm ground.( Harder the better ) They, like the Springboks always struggled on muddy heavy wet grounds. It's unnatural for them.

The English press in Wales really?

@TheoClarkMedia 3 года назад

Ha ha - good point. But this is only an excerpt from a documentary about the whole tour and to that point, the Wallabies had played mostly in England.

Australia had beaten Wales, in 1927, no?

@TheoClarkMedia 2 года назад

An interesting story. Because QLD rugby shut up shop for a few years between the Wars, the side that played Wales in 1927 were touring as the NSW Waratahs. It wasn't until 1986 that the ARU retrospectively granted that team test status. So when the 5th Wallabies ran out in 1966, it was the case that no Wallaby side had ever beaten Wales, and the team were hailed as the first Australian side to beat Wales.

This was a great era in Australia Rugby the 5 Wallabies the inspiration for the 1984 Grand slam 8 Wallabies and the 1991&99 World cup Wallabies.

@@christopherdale7017 I hope Australia can get back to where they were in the 1980s and 1990s - they were an amazing team in those days and often the best in the world. It's an uphill battle given how the domestic game is struggling and how dominant RL is, but I'm wishing them well (except for when they play England 🙂)

@@robicenco1 It's not just Rugby league but AFL to which is making Rugby union struggle so much down under.
