British Isles Rugby Shirt 1938 Tour

The 1938 British Isles tour to South Africa. This was the fourteenth tour by a British Isles team. The tour captain was Ireland’s, Sam Walker. He adopted an open style of play that resulted in exciting and free-scoring matches. This approach delighted the South African spectators. He normally played at prop led by example on the tour. He led the British team out for 17 invitational games. Also, all three Tests against the Springboks.

Like many of the Lions parties of the 1930s and 1940s. The squad of players did not represent the best of British and Irish rugby talent. Obvious omissions included Wilf Wooller and Cliff Jones. But above all. In 1938 rugby was first and foremost a pastime. An opportunity to meet like-minded individuals. And to socialise and make friends.

Other features include a herringbone finish on the vents and tape on the neck opening. Also, we offer a 1971 British Isles Lions Shirt in Red. Plus our vintage British Isles Rugby collection.
