As the Wallabies begin their test campaign in Britain, here’s a look back at when, 30 years ago, the national team emerged triumphant, thanks to superstar player David Campese.
This week the Australian Wallabies landed in Britain for upcoming tests against Scotland, England and Wales. Their arrival coincides with the 30th anniversary of the team’s most golden moment: Australia’s first Rugby World Cup win at London’s Twickenham ground on November 2, 1991.
During that tournament, the Australians played a style of running rugby, which, carefully nurtured from the late 1970s, and manifest in several triumphs during the 1980s, brought its ultimate reward as Captain Nick Farr-Jones lifted the William Webb Ellis trophy.
