Sometimes the Best Ever: The Story of the 1966/7 Wallabies (Part 1)

The epic story of the 5th Wallaby tour of the British Isles, France and Canada, featuring rare footage and interviews with the men who built Australian rugby. No Wallaby side had ever beaten Wales and, at the start of a gruelling four-and-a-half month tour, the press gave this Australian side no chance. But when Waltzing Matilda rang out in full chorus from the Cardiff crowd, these men knew they had a date with destiny. They were the 5th Wallabies - and sometimes... they were the best ever.
