    Kiwis could've been World Cup champions if.....

    .....Matthew Ridge had nailed that sideline conversion on fulltime to win the game at the 1995 World Cup in England.

    >_< 

    Relive the memories here!

    In the end, the Aussies and Kiwis were left to fight out the remaining place in the Final. At Huddersfield's McAlpine Stadium, Australia were confronted by a fast-finishing New Zealand team. The Green & Gold's fate would rest with the boot of Matthew Ridge: Australia v New Zealand Semi 6m:36s

    That was a cracker of a game. I was lucky enough to be at the final to see the Aussie win. There were 66,000 at Wembley. Quite amazing to see!

    even if they won the world cup that year...they still couldn't have been realisticly considered 'world champions', because Australia only fielded players from the ARL, not Superleague that year. For every other country, including NZ, all payers were eligible.
