1971-72 Sat 18.12 : Sydney Showground Australia 40 Britain 41 Sweden 26
A close match, with England taking the victory when Malcolm Simmons completed his 5-ride maximum in the penultimate race. Sweden suffered from lack of track knowledge, whilst they and the home nation were afflicted with a multitude of bike problems. Most exciting rider was the home reserve, Landels, who came from the back in all his races, and was beaten only by Super Simmo. A unique 3-team race formula was used, with mixture of 3- and 4-man heats.
