Film honours John Thornett at SCG

A film by Theo Clark has been screened at the memorial service for the much admired Wallaby Captain John Thornett MBE. Thornett captained Australia from 1962-67, a period of unprecedented success for the Wallabies on the world stage, as the video recalled. The service at the Sydney Cricket Ground was attended by rugby stars and fans from across the generations and was MC'd by Dick Marks, with a eulogies from friend Greg Moore, Wallaby team mates Peter Crittle and David Emanuel, former Welsh opponent John O'Shea, and wife Viv Thornett.
