is that the first time there has been no Wigan players on the field (when O'Loughlin went off) for GB in X? years?

I can start of with the third test v the kiwis in 1980, fairbairn was injured so didn't make the 15.
must be other recent games but it was the only rothmans i had to hand.
How the mighty have fallen. I can remember a time when the GB team was almost all Wigan (well slight exageration but you know what I mean).
The pub discussion had completely missed that France game, it was sort of tucked away.
1984 vs Papua New Guinea...from the 1990-91 Rothmans. Anyone know of any others since then?
