1994 Kangaroo Tour of Great Britain and France - British Tour

British Tour

The first match against Great Britain at London's Wembley Stadium featured pre-match entertainment by Cliff Richard.

The 1994 Ashes series again broke the record aggregate crowd for the series in Great Britain with 140,430 attending the three tests, beating the record of 133,684 set on the 1990 Kangaroo Tour.

During the tour, The Kangaroos played a non-test international against Wales at Ninian Park in Cardiff. Playing on a heavy ground and in driving rain, the Australian's ran in eight tries to one in a 46-4 win in front of 8,729 fans. The only dark spot of the match was a badly broken jaw to Welsh centre John Devereux after accidentally colliding with Mal Meninga's shoulder while attempting to tackle the Australian captain.
