It wasn't a shellacking in that 3rd test but they were well beaten in the end 14-0.


They were closer in 1992 down under. Lost the 1st Test 6-22, won the 2nd Test 33-10 (masterminded by Schofield) and were edged out in the decider 16-10 (another great Schofield performance). I still haven't forgotten ET's try-saving tackle on Martin Offiah.

Since Schofield's international retirement, we've been nowhere near to beating the Australians in an Ashes Series or any other tournament for that matter. In fact, since Schofield's retirement, we've endured the heaviest defeats in our international history, like 64-10, 44-4, 52-4, 46-16... etc... Peacock played in all of those.

Isn't that an oxymoron

schoey was a world class poacher centre
was he an international class stand off , not sure

was the 93 semi against widnes rumours abounded about dressing room fights

he may be a rent a gob but hardly controversial to say the present side is too old and playing e. The wigan side is not as class as past ones but very well coached.

Against NZ, Schofield won 2 (1990 and 1993) and drew two (1985 and 1992). GB 'won' both of the drawn series on aggregate! He missed 1989's series win through injury.

Seriously?!

I distinctly recall Schofield taking a lead role at stand-off and as tour vice-captain to Mike Gregory in New Zealand in 1990 (a tour beset with GB withdrawals as certain players didn't appear to fancy it or the PNG leg that preceded it) Schofield either scoring or having a hand in almost all the test tries scored. Gregory and Schofield were IMO the outstanding players on that tour. Either would have been deserving of a man of the series award if it existed.

I also recall him lifting a trophy at Headingley after another series win V New Zealand. I didn't appreciate all the bling on show but each to their own. IIRC the third test was marked by a try in the dressing room corner by a young Andy Farrell, possibly on debut.

Open to correction though as I'm the first to admit the International memories are somewhat less reliable than the Leeds ones.
