Michael O'Connor vs Eric Grothe, Rd 2 1986

Round 2, 1986. Eric Grothe’s chase down of Michael O’Connor has stayed in my memory for 34 years. O’Connor, a dual international centre with scorching pace, hit the ball on the fly and had 80m of open paddock in front of him. Grothe had to change direction 180 degrees and start the chase essentially from a standstill from the opposite side of the field. And yet with all that he homed in on O’Connor like an Exocet missile. The fact that he caught him at all was remarkable, the fact that he had the strength to hold onto O’Connors shots with one hand and bring him down was unbelievable. The try itself was irrelevant, but Gurus pace was legendary!
