South Africa V Wales 1964 &8211; Original Programme With 27 Signatures

Product Description

This rare & highly collectable of Rugby Union memorabilia is an original match programme for the match between South Africa & Wales played at Kings Park Durban on 23 May 1964. This was the first time in history the Welsh National team had ever toured abroad & was the catalyst for the great times to come as after the tour the WRU restructured the national team set-up. Adding to the value & rarity of this programme is that it is signed by 27 players who have placed their signature on or around their printed name. The two teams were; South Africa: L G Wilson; J P Engelbrecht J L Gainsford D A Stewart C G Dirksen; K Oxlee C M Smith; J. L. Myburgh G F Malan (capt.) J F K Marais G Carelse A S Malan T P Bedford D J. Hopwood F C H du Preez.
