The 1946 Great Britain side which toured Australia and New Zealand has been inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame.
Nicknamed the ‘Indomitables’ after the navy aircraft carrier they sailed on, the 26-man squad completed an unbeaten Ashes series against Australia, following an 8-8 draw in Sydney with a 14-5 win in Brisbane and a 20-7 victory back in Sydney.
They remain the only Great Britain rugby league team to go unbeaten in an away Test series against Australia.
Across the five-month trip, which was the first major overseas sporting tour by a British team following the end of World War Two, Welshman Gus Risman’s side played 27 matches, winning 21, drawing one, and losing five.
