An unframed 1954 Australian Rugby League World Cup jersey. This 1954 jersey (from the first RL World Cup, which was held in France) This is jersey is # 26. Eighteen players were selected for the tour and numbers 1-18 were allocated for the tour (as was the custom then) The match programme for the match against GB shows players wearing jersey numbered above 18, as 19 and 22 are listed, so additional jerseys were available and issued. The Australians played additional matches against New Zealand in both England and the USA post tournament. GB were the inaugural World Cup winners. This has come initially from England great Dave Bolton. This jersey features a unique Coat of Arms patch which has not used again (apart from a recent commemorative) A rare Australian Rugby League jersey.
