We lost to Australia in the 95 World Cup Final.
On the team comparison a lot of people are comparing individuals sheer ability rather than how they fit in to the team and how the team as a whole plays.
The present Leeds team is exactly that, a team. The shower that played in 94/95 were a set of cliques and individuals who always cracked under pressure. Sure Hanley was a great player but even he couldn't lift that Leeds team to win a trophy.
