I'll see if I can get a pic of big Dennis Hartley - he also toured and played in the GB team that last beat you Aussies way back in 1970.
I'm reliably informed that in one incident, not sure which match, Artie Beetson was knocked out by him.
The story goes that in the bar after the match Artie came in with a bandage on his head and went up to Cliff Watson the other GB prop and said "What happened Cliff?" Cliff replied " You got in the way of Dennis's knee Artie"
