The last part in the Wallaby back line video highlights series from 2008 to 2009 is now up.

You can also see the previous parts so you can compare footage from 1979 to 2009.

love it!

Can't wait for the Kearnsy special - our greatest scrums of the last 2 decades!

 

[Joe Blow]

Great stuff!!

We have been blessed with outrageous backline talent for most of that time.

Magic.

Well in Austin great footage, could have sworn gits made ore breaks from 2004 to 2006 though, i remember him as a line breaking fiend

If only the wallabies had morty 2005 version, latham 2006 version and Lote 2002 version they would be unstoppable

That's the last Morty you'd want...

He had a woeful season at the Brumbies and nearly lost his test spot to Morgan Turinui! And then he missed most of the test season through injury...

What you want is 2006 Morty... he was unstoppable!

my bad got the two years sort of mixed up knew he was injured for one of them but i thought it was 2006 because that is when gits played 9 and lote played 13

Stirlo missed the Wales test that year so we had the Connolly/Johnson madness at full throttle as highlighted by this backline:

9. Giteau
10. Rogers
11. Shepherd
12. Larkham
13. Tuqiri
14. Rathbone
15. Latham

Captained by Phil Waugh... George Smith not even considered for the bench... Baxter playing loosehead... Tai McIsaac at hooker...

Thank Christ for Latham that day...
