Description

In 1984 Ulster scored a remarkable victory over an Australian rugby side, with the legendary David Campese in their ranks, who had defeated all four national teams (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland) in their tour of the British Isles. But Australia then found themselves up against an Ulster side that was just about to embark on a run of ten Irish Inter Provincial titles in a row.

Ulster's victory is still fondly remembered today, and this report for Good Evening Ulster features match highlights as well as that famous winning kick from Philip Rainey, who is interviewed afterwards.
