Launch of "Sometimes the Best Ever" at Rugby Australia HQ

The new Rugby Australian headquarters at Moore Park played host to its first event on Friday with a screening of Theo Clark's new documentary "Sometimes the Best Ever: The Story of the 1966/7 Wallabies" to mark the 50th anniversary of their historic tour.  In the room were such notables as the mighty lock Rob Heming, the Test centre pairing of John Brass and Dick Marks, fullback Jim Lenehan, wingers Alan Cardy and Stewart Boyce and prop Jim Miller, along with fellow tourists including Peter Crittle, Ross Teitzel, Peter Ryan and Jules Guerassimoff, mingling with fans including singer John Williamson, whose "Wallaby anthem" rang in the start of the show. "The next 70 odd minutes, they laughed, cried- especially when deceased colleagues appeared on the big screen- and finally applauded the first episode of a fine three-part documentary," wrote Greg Growden for ESPN.
