Just some useless info, it is a public holiday in SA, and I am sitting at home the laptop is on, and the boards are quiet.

Go on Sweeden!!!!

What were all those Scandanavian games in 1971???

Was it a northern world cup qualifing time?

But yip thanx biltong, was a good read!

Why were the two Fiji/Tonga games played home/away at the same location in 1981?

Cheers for the random info Biltong

I took the date from 8th to 15th august. It could have been that the 8th fell and 15th fell on two seperate weekends.

So the message is
NZ do NOT play OZ between the 8th and 15th of August
NZ DO play SA between the 8th and 15th of August

Was that win in 2001 the first win at the House of Pain or Westpac?

Someone has done some editing in Wiki...
