We did go 31 (I think) straight games without a defeat in 1971, and we had one of the best back 3's in a long time; Ashurst Laughton and Robinson would have walked into this team today.

Couldn't name the backs without a reference, but didn't we have a terrific prop called Ashcroft?

Just thought I would double check on Wikipedia how many overseas they have and we have.

Both teams have 9 each from other countries.
