The story goes that Arthur Summons then threw the ball to Irvine to take the kick from the sideline. Irvine who at the time played for North Sydney and was there second string kicker.

Irvine later admitted that he had set the ball on the mound and had walked back to his spot to commence his run up to take the kick when the referee Darcy Lawler advised him that it was not aligned correctly and he should readjust the line. Irvine then went back to the ball, readjusted theline and then pilotted the ball over the black dot. Australia had won the third test by one point.

In those days there were no replacements for injured players. Australian forward Dud Beattie had suffered a dislocated shoulder early in the second half and he knew he would not see the game out.
Beattie admitted that he deliberately set out to take a Pom off with him. So he goaded Pommy wildman Turner and as a result Turner knocked him down. The ref then sent Turner off and when Turner had realised what had happend it looked to many as if Turner would carry on with the injured Beattie as Beattie was getting assisted off the field by the Ambo..

(I was a 7 year old when this game took place.....I can remember Irvine scoring tries for Australia, but I dont know if it was this game. Have you got a memory of this game, drop us an email and I will include your memory)
