[Little Grubber Kick]

1) haha, for about the 4th time........Odsal 🙂
2) Heading north, Headingley?
3) your home town perhaps?

5) Castleford sounds about right! 😉

We now have 4 of the 5.

#1 is Odsal Stadium, the pic is from the 1954 Challenge Cup Final replay.
#2 is Headingley early last century.
#3 is in my home town. Its Hindmarsh Stadium circa mid-1980's.
#5 is Wheldon Road (The Jungle) in Castleford.

What is #4? The Kangaroos only lost once there in 1978. The ground still stands but its been rebuilt as a soulless, almost cookie-cutter modern northern England league ground.

The computer made an error.

Australia last lost a non-test on a tour to Auckland during the 1989 mid-season tour of New Zealand. They defeated the Kangaroos 26-24 at Carlaw Park. Fatty captained Australia that night.

Remember, I said "a tour", not a Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France 😛
