Title: ... p37 - Greg Dowling - (p90) Kevin Tamati The famous stink- memories by Paul (Saint of Hull)-

To be perfectly honest Quigs it's just a vague re-collection of watching it on tele.

It must have been 1986 I think Australia V New Zealand Test, which would have made me 12.

I remember them starting fighting on the pitch, don't recall why, and then being sent to the sin bin.

The over-riding memory was them sledging each other all the way to the
sin bin, which I believe was a seperate area then and then they started going at it hammer and tongs, and I don't mean handbags.

The commentator said something about not wanting to see this in our sport and the Director must have cut away but everyone one wanted to see the battle of the gladiators.

It was one of the first times I swore in front of my mother and father without realising, some along the lines of f*****g hell there still at it!!! Got a belt round the ear for that!!!

Anyway sorry it's all a bit vague but I was only young.

Cheers
Paul
