BTW anyone who thinks that 1996 Athletic Park thumping in the mud was one of our greatest victories has to look at that Aussie team. A veritable who's that? of Strayan 90s players. Fuck they were nobodies.
It was never about the opposition it was about the excellence of execution in diabolical conditions.

Caught something on Fox "All Blacks Greatest Victories v Australia".
Covered about 10 years from mid 90s to mid 00s.
In pre wide screen mode.
Was fun.

@Stockcar86 Excellent. Hesketh gets the 14 jersey; I've moved Sullivan to the bench. I've left Bourke where he is (6). Still need another lock ...
There's obviously a desire to complete the league when possible to do so...
"There is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played," the league said, "enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition."
And this...
Uefa, in a letter signed by the European Club Association and the European Leagues, has urged members not to abandon their competitions. Halting leagues without approval from Uefa could see teams blocked from qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League as they are determined based on final positions in domestic standings.
Now, it seems to me that there must be a point by which the league executives will simply say that 19/20 can't be completed. However, and similarly, there must also be a point whereby 20/21 can't be started, because there won't be enough time to complete a full 38-game season. In this case, surely the fall back would be to complete 19/20?
