1980 Kangaroo tour of New Zealand
The 1980 Kangaroo Tour of New Zealand was a mid-season tour of New Zealand by the Australia national rugby league team. The Australians played seven matches on tour, including a two test series against the New Zealand national rugby league team. The tour began on 1 June and finished on 17 June.
The Test matches against the Kiwis were broadcast back to New South Wales and Queensland by 0–Ten with Ray Warren in commentary. Warren was joined in the first Test call by St George centre Graham Quinn while he was joined by Kerry Boustead for the second Test. Boustead missed the second Test due to a shoulder injury picked up in the first Test and was ironically replaced on the wing by Quinn.
