"2026 Hot Takes & Warriors Predictions"

Step back to July 7, 1985, Carlaw Park... a mud-soaked cauldron where New Zealand’s rugby league pride clashed with the might of the Australians.

In the latest episode of Kärcher’s “Blast from the Past,” hosts ACC Head G Lane, Dai Henwood, and Dylan Cleaver relive a series that was anything but a dead rubber. The Aussies may have led the series 2-0, but the third test became a defining moment in the Trans-Tasman rivalry.

The buildup was electric: fierce clashes, controversial coaching decisions, and a notorious brawl between Kevin Tamati and Graham Dowling set the tone. The Kiwis, still reeling from a heartbreaking loss in the second test, found themselves rejuvenated by a surprise show of public support orchestrated by coach Graham Lowe. Meanwhile, the Australian camp was in turmoil, divided by state rivalries and coach Terry Fearnley’s contentious team selections.

What unfolded was historic. The Kiwis dominated, shutting out the Kangaroos 18-0, the first time Australia had been held scoreless since the 1950s. Heroes emerged, legends were born, and the victory marked a turning point for New Zealand players seeking opportunities across the Tasman.

Find out how a walk down Queen Street changed the Kiwis’ fate...

Blast From The Past is brought to you by the legends at Kärcher!
