Love it, there’s nothing better than a bit of biff to get the crowd going.

I'm pretty sure Tallis broke his hand on O'connor's head.

Tallis would've been sent off for that tackle these days.

Some gooduns on there, Tuson dishing out retribution is one of my favourites and the 2004 was great, still to this day you can feel the tension.
Terry O’Connor did bloody well to hang in there after Tallis dumped him on his head and had his way with him, Tallis had a big rep for being hard yet came out worse from that, bloodied nose and I believe broke his hand on Terrys head!!!
2 other things that stand out is how neither Australian even got sin-binned, both Ozzie refs too I think?

I remember at the time Terry o'connor saying that his wife hits harder than him(Tallis).

LMS staying on after starting the whole thing with his head aggravates me still.

Typical of their tactics against us back then. Couldn't live with us so just tried to start a fight to unsettle us. Worked in 2014 to perfection.
