Classic Wallabies win the battle of the old-timers
The hair might be thinner, the waistlines may be thicker, but the competitive spirit still sparked bright when the Classic Wallabies and British and Irish Legends met in a match at Melbourne's AAMI Park on Tindall, who never won selection for the Lions, but played against them off the bench for the Barbarians in a 2013 tour warm-up, played for the him were the likes of former Lions Alex Cuthbert, Shane Williams, Andy Powell and Tommy Giteau, Adam Ashley-Cooper and Drew Mitchell were among those turning out in green and gold.
The Classic Wallabies ran out 41-31 winners, but the highlight of the match probably didn't figure on the scoreboard. Mitchell pulling a hamstring, to the delight of the watching Kurtley Beale, and then downing a pint garnered most online interest in the aftermath.
