The 2001 Kangaroo Tour was a truncated Kangaroo tour which featured only the thee Ashes series Test matches against Great Britain. The tour was almost abandoned due to military action in the wake of the September 11 attacks. Australia continued its dominance, winning two of the three tests against Great Britain and retaining The Ashes that they have held since 1973. The 2001 Kangaroo tour was initially cancelled by the Australian Rugby League (ARL) but after strong public opinion in both Great Britain and Australia, it went ahead. However, the only games played were the three tests, marking the first Kangaroo Tour to not play against any British club or provincial teams. The 2001 tour was also the first since 1952-53 not to include a test series against France following The Ashes series. The team was coached by Chris Anderson who was making his third Kangaroo Tour, and first as coach, after playing in the 1978 and 1982 tours, the second in 1982 as a member of the famed "Invincibles". Team captain was Brad Fittler, the youngest ever Kangaroo tourist in 1990 at the age of 18, was making his third and last Kangaroo Tour after being part of the successful 1990 and 1994 touring teams. Fittler was also the only member of the squad that had previously taken part in a Kangaroo tour. ==Touring Squad== |- bgcolor="#CCCCFF" | Player | Club | Position(s) | Games | Tries | Goals | F/Goals | Points |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Braith Anasta | Canterbury Bulldogs | | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Trent Barrett | St. George Illawarra Dragons | | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 8 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Nathan Blacklock | St. George Illawarra Dragons | | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Danny Buderus | Newcastle Knights | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Dane Carlaw | Brisbane Broncos | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Petero Civoniceva | Brisbane Broncos | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Brad Fittler (c) | Sydney Roosters | | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 6 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Mark Gasnier | St. George Illawarra Dragons | | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Matthew Gidley | Newcastle Knights | | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Andrew Johns | Newcastle Knights | | 3 | 3 | 11 | 0 | 34 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Robbie Kearns | Melbourne Storm | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Ben Kennedy | Newcastle Knights | | 3 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Darren Lockyer | Brisbane Broncos | | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 8 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Jamie Lyon | Parramatta Eels | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Adam MacDougall | Newcastle Knights | | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 8 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Brad Meyers | Brisbane Broncos | | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 4 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Jason Ryles | St. George Illawarra Dragons | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Jason Stevens | Cronulla Sharks | | 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Lote Tuqiri | Brisbane Broncos | | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Michael Vella | Parramatta Eels | | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- |- bgcolor="#FFFFFF" | Daniel Wagon | Parramatta Eels | | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |- 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2001 Kangaroo tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
