Highlights from the Classic Wallabies vs Darling Downs Over 35 Barbarians match at Gold Park Toowoomba on Sunday 10 June 2018

Classic Wallabies vs Darling Downs Barbarians 2018

An interview with Classic Wallaby #466 Rob Heming, conducted by Gordon Bray and produced by Theo Clark Media.

Rob Heming played 21 Tests for Australia in a seven-year international career. He was recognised as the greatest line-out jumper in the world during the period he played international rugby. He ensured the Wallabies’ possession from a set piece from which they struggled to do prior his arrival on the Test stage in 1961.

In ‘The Top 100 Wallabies’ written by Peter Jenkins, Heming was selected by a panel of seven, including five Wallabies, at number 23 and the second row partner of John Eales in the Top XV.
