Celebrating 10 years of classic Wallaby magic. It began in 1991 at Lansdowne Road. With the Wallabies on the verge of a shock world cup exit at the hands of the Irish, all seemed lost. But with just one moment of individual brilliance, Michael Lynagh broke the hearts of the expectant hosts and sent the Australian supporters wild with an against-all-odds try… It is moments like these that encapsulate the spirit and the determination that has set the Wallabies apart from the rest of the world for the last ten years. And it has been this ability to grasp such opportunities - even when all seems lost - that has made the last decade the greatest era in Australian Rugby. Seven moments that helped shape a decade of success The Golden Decade is a collectable tribute to the players whose individual skill and determination has shaped the course of some of the team's most vital matches. Unforgettable moments like Campese's impossible 'inside-out' pass to Tim Horan … Larkham's jaw-dropping drop goal during that World Cup semifinal … Or the lineout steal that finally thwarted the mighty Lions. Each of the seven Wallaby golden moments are bought to life through these breathtaking photographs and with a commentary from each of the players - giving you a true feeling for what it was like to be out there, amongst the action. As well as boasting all of the key defining moments of Australian Rugby, The Golden Decade also features the real giants of this great decade - household names, along with two rising stars. The Golden Decade is a strictly limited edition of just 500, and comes accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and Limitation issued by the major independent accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers. It is fully endorsed by Australian Rugby as Official Licensed Wallaby Memorabilia. 1991 Defining Moments In Australian Rugby 2001 Lynagh's match-winning try In the World Cup quarterfinal, Michael Lynagh single-handedly snatches the game away from the Irish with a try created from sheer willpower. Campese's miracle pass In the World Cup semi-final, David Campese twists the All Black defence in and out, then throws a bold, brilliant 'no-look' pass to send Tim Horan in for a decisive try. Gregan's match-saving tackle Four minutes left on the clock, and an All Black Bledisloe Cup-winning try seems a certainty… until a young George Gregan comes to the rescue, with a ball-popping, eye-popping tackle. Larkham's unforgettable drop goal Deep into extra time in a World Cup semi-final with the scores welded together, and Steve Larkham chooses this moment to try his first drop-goal in international Rugby. A very good choice, as he puts Australia back on the road to ultimate glory 1 week later. Eales' Bledisloe-winning penalty Another Bledisloe cliffhanger. Time has run out… Australia are 2 points adrift… and the regular kicker is off the field. Miss the attempt, and lose the Cup. Make the kick, and win the Cup. Up steps John Eales… Mortlock's Tri-Nations clincher In an almost identical situation to the Eales kick 3 weeks prior, Australia's choices are again, simple: miss the kick, lose the Tri Nations Cup - slot the kick, and win it. However,.. regular kicker Stirling Mortlock is ON the field this time. Harrison's Lions line-out steal Playing in his first Test, and with the series teetering on the next passage of play, Justin Harrison makes a crucial steal from a rampaging Lions team, and makes the game… and the series, safe for Australia.
