Wigan Tourists 1910
Photo: Keith

The first "English" RL Tour to Australia (there were 7 Welshmen in the party of 25) in 1910. Wigan had 5 representatives, two of whom were Welsh, Johnny Thomas and Bert Jenkins along with Dick Ramsdale, Jimmy Lytham and Jim Sharrock. All 5 Wigan players were in the first Test when they beat Australia by 27 points to 20 in front of 42,000 - they also won the second and final test. This photo was sent back to England by Wigan's Johnny Thomas.
