Forty years on : The 1977 RLWC

[The Partisan]

Unless I missed it obviously the 40th anniversary of Australia and NZ hosting the 1977 RLWC went by without a word being said.

Surely some news stories / interviews with past players could have made at least one show / newspaper / magazine and helped promote the 2017 event.


For those interested ....

Thanks Mr Partisan.

It's a sad reflection on the lack of respect and recognition of the RLWC and international RL !!

Its not as though it was the 1st world cup, and there was also held in Australia in 1957.

Thanks T~87. Very much know the history of the RLWC. Only pinpointed the 1977 tournament as it is a 'recent' tournament with an anniversary.

Any TV show could have used the vision seen here.

That was interesting! Great Britain just missed the penalty goal to win the World Cup by a point. They could have changed history had that kick gone over.

Ditto the GB intercept try that is called back so they can be given a penalty!!!
