You are probably best trying to get hold of the game (Amazon have the full match on DVD for less than a tenner).
It is regarded by many as the greatest Cup final ever as Hull fought back from 22-8 down to almost snatch it. Also some great players from the UK and Down Under were on display such as Sterling, Crooks, Leuluai, Norton, Kenny, Ferguson, West. The other noteworthy thing about the game was the attendance - a shade under 100,000.
It was something of a "changing of the guard" too as Hull's golden era of the early 80s began to fade just as Wigan's dominance of the game began.
