Sunday night.
Leading off made in Australia, we come to the world premiere of the first Kangaroos.
We intend to play rugby, not as members of the old school type again.
In 1908, Australian rugby league football came to the crossroads.
It's only a rugby game, it's not bloody war.
In the football battle of the century.
Today, Dally Messenger is going to suffer.
Featuring Dally Messenger, the greatest rugby league player who ever lived.
Bloody hell.
Against his wily English opponent, the legendary Albert Goldthorpe.
The English reckon he's the greatest in the world.
Greater than Dally.
This just isn't a story about football.
It's a story of courage, dignity and spirit.
An adventure that took these Australian ambassadors from their steamy training ground to third rate hotels.
Are we going to go around like a bunch of performance seals to earn our keep?
Dennis Waterman, Chris Haywood and Dominic Sweeney is the great Dally Messenger.
In one of the bloodiest battles that ever took place on any field.
This is a great day for Australian rugby.
The first Kangaroos, the world television premiere.
8.30 Sunday night on TVO.
