France Rugby League Cap World Cup

The France Rugby League Cap 1951 pays tribute to the remarkable achievements of the French Rugby League team. In 1951, France had assembled an exceptional squad, led by the legendary fullback and captain, Puig Aubert. This team, with its daring and unorthodox style, left an indelible mark on the sport. Moreover, they became renowned for thrilling and entertaining crowds with their flamboyant play.

In addition to their skill, the 1951 team brought an element of showmanship to their matches. For the first time, the Australian public could witness such a team live, which led the New South Wales Rugby League (NSWRL) to make the opening Test match in Sydney an “all-ticket” event. Consequently, demand skyrocketed, and fans were captivated by France’s unique style. As a result, France defeated Australia 26-15 in this historic first Test, with Vincent Cantoni scoring twice and Aubert successfully kicking seven goals.

A Testament to the Team’s Resilience and Skill

Following the victorious first Test, France faced new challenges. For the second Test in Brisbane, the team made a strategic substitution, bringing in Jacques Merquey to replace Charles Galaup. Nevertheless, the Australian team proved formidable, winning 23-11. Despite this setback, the French squad remained determined. Subsequently, in the third Test match held at the Sydney Cricket Ground, France reclaimed their momentum. Playing in front of an enormous crowd of 67,009 fans, they delivered a spectacular performance. As a result, France clinched the series victory, with Puig Aubert once again demonstrating his prowess by scoring seven goals and Joseph Crespo contributing three tries.
