1968 South Africa | Dawie De VilliersInternational Rugby Union jersey match-worn versus British LionsJersey & Provenance: in original and complete condition, not canvas lined / quilted as per the period, bears label for Maxmore and Markhams, embroidered leaping Springbok, canvas No.9 to reverse.Provenance: the personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & family.Dawie De Villiers: David Jacobus de Villiers (10 July 1940 – 23 April 2022) was one of the greatest Springboks, he was the dominant scrumhalf of the 1960s, playing 25 tests for South Africa between 1962 and 1970. He was captain for 22 of his caps. De Villiers left an indelible mark on Springbok rugby but later in life was an important part of the political winds of change for South Africa, becoming a minister in the first democratically elected government from 1994, under President Nelson Mandela. He was part of a delegation from the then ruling National Party that met the outlawed African National Congress (ANC) and helped unban the organisation from politics. Earlier in his political career he was South African Ambassador to the United Kingdom.De Villiers made his debut against the British Lions in 1962, aged 22. Out of his 25 Springbok caps, he racked up an impressive 15 wins. At 1.71m and 73kg, he was no giant but possessed a great pass, he had pace, agility, and an eye for a gap.In 1970, De Villiers captained the Springboks for a famous 3-1 series win against the All Blacks on home soil. The scrumhalf’s final test was the 20-17 win at Ellis Park in Johannesburg to historically clinch that series.At provincial level, De Villiers played for Boland, Western Province, and Transvaal (now Lions) before moving into politics.The present South Africa Rugby Union President, Mark Alexander paid tribute to Dawie De Villiers;‘He was a great servant of South Africa. To lead South Africa as long as he did in the amateur era and to hold the record for appearances as a test captain until the dawn of professionalism says everything about his stature as a player and leader. He was a great and loyal servant of Springbok rugby and we pay tribute to his dedication and the service he gave to the sport and South African life’.Gareth Edwards became good friends with Dawie De Villiers and remembers him as one of the finest scrum-halves of his era.The Match: De Villiers played in all four tests in the series win over Sir Gareth Edwards’ Lions of ’68. He scored a try in the first test, and then in front of 60,000 at Ellis Park, Johannesburg in the final test, De Villiers was said to be the stand-out player.Sir Gareth Recalls: ‘Dawie and I talked a lot about his country. Conversations furthered both my rugby and political education. Dawie possessed a wonderful rugby brain. Besides that, he had the all-round footballing qualities that were prevalent in scrum- halves in those days: the ability to break quickly, pass accurately and kick with precision. But it was his tactical acumen which made him such a superb captain. Dawie had a wonderful sense of humour, and I have always enjoyed the time I have spent in his company; he has been a fine friend’.Auctioneer's Note:Each lot will be accompanied by the auction prospectus, signed by Sir Gareth Edwards CBE.

1968/1969 Ireland | Ken KennedyInternational Rugby Union jersey match-worn by Dr. Ken KennedyJersey & Provenance: in complete and original condition, small label for Lawsons, Cork. Shamrock embroidered to shield shaped white panel and applied to chest.Provenance: the personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & family.Ken Kennedy: Dr. Kenneth William Kennedy (1941-2022) was Ireland’s first-choice hooker for a decade, winning 45 caps between 1965 and 1975, a World record for a player in his position at the time. Known for his world-class scrummaging, Kennedy had a strong relationship with Willie John McBride, both were renowned for their toughness and skill on the field.Kennedy toured twice with the British Lions, winning four Test caps in Australia and New Zealand in 1966. He was a back-up to Wales legend Bobby Windsor on the 1974 tour of South Africa, while also playing the unofficial role of medical officer (at a time when the squad did not have a travelling doctor).He undertook post-graduate study in geriatric medicine at Guy’s Hospital, which led to him joining London Irish in 1968, where he played his club rugby until 1980, captaining the side from 1976 to 1979.Sir Gareth Recalls: ‘Ken was another overseas player that I got to know well and considered a friend. I have fond memories of us traveling together to Castres, in ‘87, to play a special one off ‘out of retirement’ match, as invited by Gerard Cholley’.Auctioneer's Note:Each lot will be accompanied by the auction prospectus, signed by Sir Gareth Edwards CBE.

1969 Australia | John HipwellInternational Rugby Union jersey match-worn by John Hipwell versus WalesJersey & Provenance: in original match-worn and complete condition, canvas lined shoulders, original buttons, embroidered ‘Australia Rugby 1969’ badge, plastic No. 9 stitched to back, interior labels for Westmont and size 38, ‘Edwards’ faintly inscribed in ink to interior for his retention after the match on June 21st 1969.Provenance: the personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & familyJohn Hipwell: Despite scrum half John Noel Brian Hipwell (1948-2013) suffering several nasty injuries in his career, his test record in Wallaby gold is highlighted by extraordinary longevity. He won his first cap in 1968 and last in 1982, and he captained the Wallabies in nine tests.Born in the Newcastle suburb of Mayfield in New South Wales, Hipwell was a junior and senior player for Waratahs Rugby Club, where he was mentored by former Wallaby Cyril Burke. He was only 19 when he played his first representative match for NSW Country against the touring British and Irish Lions of ‘66. He then won his first Australian cap the following year, against the All Blacks, after regular scrumhalf Ken Catchpole sustained a career ending injury.From then on Hipwell was a regular in the Wallabies side, touring to the UK in 1968, South Africa in 1969, France in 1971 and Europe in 1973 where he was made captain against England at Twickenham, in the absence of injured Peter Sullivan.He went on to become tour captain of the 1975–76 tour of Britain and Ireland but suffered a career threatening cruciate ligament injury against Wales. Doctors believed that he would not play again, but three years later, in 1978, he miraculously forced his way back in the Australia side, where he played in three Tests against New Zealand.Three years later again, he was selected for the 1981–82 Australia rugby union tour of Britain and Ireland and played in three of the four Test matches. In January 1982, at the age of 33, he played his final international game against England.John Hipwell was one of many world-class halfbacks to emerge in this period from Newcastle, NSW. It was said that he had very few deficiencies to his game; he had an immaculate long-range pass, powerful acceleration and was a supreme defender. He was stocky, exceptionally strong with a muscular lower body - perfect for the scrumhalf position.Without any front teeth he looked tough too, he was an intimidating character in the eyes of the opposition, while a cult figure to the fans.His Australian team-mate Geoff Shaw described Hipwell as ‘… one of the great captains…he was very astute at the game.He knew when to get up people, and when not to get up at them’. While former World Cup winning captain Nick Farr-Jones said that Hipwell will be remembered for his grit and courage against the odds, and that he was always reminded of this in John Hipwell’s hands, ‘He had these terrible gnarly fingers…no disrespect to the forwards he played behind – often when they played the All Blacks he was going backwards – he must have had the shit kicked out of his hands’.John Hipwell received the Order of Australia Medal in 1982 and in 2006 he was honoured in the second set of inductees into the Australian Rugby Union Hall of Fame. He died in 2013.The Match: In 1969 Wales toured Australia, Fiji and New Zealand with four matches against regional and invitational teams and three tests. Two versus the All Blacks and one against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on the 21st of June.Wales won the Australia test 19-16 with Sir Gareth Edwards playing at scrum half opposite Hipwell. The tries for the victors were from Gerald Davies, Dai Morris and John Taylor. Australia with tries from Arthur McGill and Phil Smith.The jerseys were swapped after the match.Sir Gareth Recalls: ‘Great player was John, in his own right, especially having to live in the shadow of the great Ken Catchpole’.Auctioneer's Note:Each lot will be accompanied by the auction prospectus, signed by Sir Gareth Edwards CBE.

1973 New Zealand-Barbarians | Sir Colin MeadsRugby Union jersey match-worn by Sir Colin MeadsJersey & Provenance: Red jersey with white collar in complete and original condition. Bears label for Canterbury, embroidered leaping lamb to red canvas outline badge applied to chest, white cotton No.5 to reverse. A few marks and small hole noted and ‘Barbarians 1’ inscribed to back of collar. Possibly faded as thought it may have been used after the match, perhaps worn at the Meads’ farm.Provenance: the personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & family.Sir Colin Meads: There is no figure more iconic in rugby union than Colin Meads (1936-2017), one of the finest rugby players ever seen. In 1999 Meads was named New Zealand rugby player of the (20th) century, a huge accolade in a country which breathes rugby union.Meads made his test debut against Australia in 1957 and went on to play 133 All Blacks matches, including a then record 55 tests until his final appearance in 1971. These are remarkable statistics in an era when the All Blacks seldom played more than four tests a year. Colin Meads was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame in its inaugural year, alongside Sir Gareth Edwards.He was a sportsman who defined the spirit of New Zealand and embodied the best qualities of an All Black: he was tough, uncompromising, loyal, and humble. In a relatively young nation, he helped to define qualities which were seen to be essential to the New Zealand character.Colin Earl Meads was a descendant of three generations of sheep farmers. He was born in Cambridge, in the Waikato region of New Zealand’s North Island. When he was 7, his parents moved to a hill farm in the rugged King Country, in the heart of the North Island. As a child, Meads contracted scarlet and rheumatic fevers, which left him so weakened that he was taught to knit lest his hands become deformed.Nevertheless, the young Mead was hardened by farming life and developed great strength, stamina, and toughness. He played his entire club career for Waitete club and amassed 139 appearances for King Country province.He played rugby with incredible skills for a large lock forward and was said to have revolutionised forward play by running the ball. More crucially he had enormous will to win that inspired his teammates. Yet he was uncomfortable with fame, describing himself as a ‘country hick in the big time’, he always saw himself as a father first, a farmer second and an All Black incidentally.Meads was nicknamed “Pinetree” by teammate Kevin Briscoe during a Japan tour with the under-23 team in 1958. The sobriquet stayed with him for the rest of his life, epitomizing his strength, presence, and indomitability. In 1972, he broke his back in a car crash and his body was encased in plaster but incredibly he was back on the field within five months.This was typical of a man who had played on with a broken arm against Eastern Transvaal in 1970, and a man who returned to the field against France in ’67, after being viciously kicked in the head as he lay on the ground.Throughout his playing career, Meads was an almost permanent fixture in the All Blacks squad. He missed the first Test against the British and Irish Lions in 1959 but the following year he had an outstanding tour of South Africa. His try in the second Test clinched victory for the All Blacks and cemented his place for many years to come.Meads played a major part in the tour to Britain and France in 1963 and helped to clock up series victories in 1965 and 1966 over the Springboks and the British Lions in 1967.Colin Meads was the only player present for an All Blacks winning run of 17 matches. He captained the All Blacks eleven times including the inexperienced All Blacks team who lost the 1971 series to the British Lions - which remains New Zealand’s only defeat by the Lions. That series would mark the end of his long and illustrious 18-year rugby career.He is still regarded as New Zealand’s finest All Black, even when players of the modern era such as Richie McCaw, who played 148 tests, surpassed Meads’ record for test appearances. After his retirement Colin Meads continued farming but also worked as an All Blacks selector and manager, mentoring generations of players to wear the famous black jersey. Former All Blacks captain and coach Brian Lochore said of Meads ‘Nobody has done more for New Zealand rugby, at any time in my view’.Mervyn Davies, the Wales No 8 who played in the 1971 Lions series wrote of Meads, ‘No player encapsulates a nation’s attitude to sport like Colin Meads does for New Zealand. In a land of rugby giants, he still reigns supreme and is regarded by many as the greatest ever All Black. He was the flag-bearer of New Zealand manhood’.Meads succumbed to a long battle with cancer at the age of 81, but not before seeing his image immortalised in bronze in his hometown of Te Kuiti.The Match: This jersey was Colin Meads’ New Zealand ‘Baa-Baas’ jersey for whom he was selected for only two matches in ‘73. It is likely that the jersey was retained for both matches therefore the only one of its kind.The New Zealand Barbarian Rugby Club, founded in 1937, adopted the philosophies of free-flowing rugby synonymous with the original Barbarians Club in the UK.Sir Gareth Recalls: ‘What else is there to say about the great man? We became friends after many matches against each other and meeting after our playing days were over. Colin was a colossus of a man in every sense, the type of player you would always want on your side’.Auctioneer's Note:Each lot will be accompanied by the auction prospectus, signed by Sir Gareth Edwards CBE.

1967 East Wales | Sir Gareth EdwardsRugby Union jersey match-worn by Sir Gareth Edwards versus The All BlacksJersey & Provenance: Red jersey with white collar in original and complete condition. Bears label for Umbro (two globes), applied badge to chest with embroidered leek for Wales and silver fern for New Zealand, cotton No.9 to reverse.Provenance: the personal collection of Sir Gareth Edwards CBE & family.The Match: In 1967 the New Zealand All Blacks toured Great Britain, France, and Canada. The series consisted of 17 matches with four Tests against the Home Nations.The New Zealand team finished the tour undefeated, the first time they had achieved this in the Northern hemisphere since the 1924–25 ‘Invincibles’ team.The nearest the All Blacks of 1967 came to defeat was a drawn match against a hastily assembled East Wales at Cardiff Arms Park, captained by Sir Gareth Edwards.The match had originally been scheduled for Saturday, December 9th, but due to a heavy snowfall the terraces were deemed too dangerous for supporters and so the match was rescheduled for the following Wednesday afternoon.Despite the kick-off rescheduled to the middle of the week just before Christmas, 40,000 rugby fans filled the stadium, most expecting an easy win for the unbeaten, physically impressive All Blacks.But East Wales had a strong side out, including established Internationals such as the Cardiff backs Keri Jones, Gerald Davies, Barry John, and 20-year-old Gareth Edwards who had been made captain for the match. There was mobility in the pack too with Jeff Young, John Hickey and Tony Gray featuring. And from the start, the East Wales pack made the New Zealand forwards look ponderous, consequently the All Blacks half-backs were under pressure throughout.In the 22nd minute, East Wales won a line-out and Barry John tried a dropkick which swerved away to the left of the posts, but Frank Wilson, the East Wales, winger was alert enough to follow-up, gather and touchdown to make the score 3-0.Shortly afterwards the home side could, and maybe should, have been awarded a penalty try, when a diagonal kick intended for winger Keri Jones, saw him race to the line with McCormick, only for the New Zealander to barge him out-of-the-way off the ball. The poor luck continued for East Wales as later in the first half Wilson went over for another try, only to be called back for an infringement.It remained 3-0 to East Wales at the end of the half but in the second-half East Wales had their tails up and launched waves of attack on the stunned All Blacks.However, several kickable penalties were missed by the Welsh and the tension began to build.Then 10 minutes from time, completely against the run of play, All Black Lochore raced away from the scrum on halfway with Bill Davis in support, Davis passed it out to Steel who had 50 yards to go. A try did not look likely, but Steel beat off tacklers to score a fabulous solo try to level the match.It was a huge blow to the East Wales side who had been in command for most of the game. To their credit, they fought back and there was almost a sensational finish whenBarry John’s drop goal in the closing moments of the game, grazed the right upright.Tony Steel’s try avoided embarrassment for the All Blacks, and it proved to be the most important try of the 1967 tour as New Zealand’s unbeaten record was saved. But it was a match that East Wales should have won.Sir Gareth Recalls: ‘I remember the match vividly for a number of reasons. For a start I was made captain, which was a feeling of pride and apprehension. I was barely 20, though it was only a few months later that I captained Wales for the first time. Dai Hayward, the former Cardiff and Wales wing, was asked to coach the East Wales side, though coaching was very much in its infancy then.He said we’d better meet up and have a chat about the game, so we met in what was then the Cockney Pride, a pub in Cardiff, where over a lunch of curry and chips and a bit of half and half, we discussed our tactical approach to this enormous event. I can still remember Dai’s opening line: “Well boy, there’s no point complicating anything.” If we get hold of the ball, he said, let’s move it.We were supposed to be playing them on the Saturday. I was in college at the time and my room- mate Nick Williams who’s still my friend and business colleague went to the window in the morning and said: “I tell you, you won’t be playing the All Blacks today.” The whole town was covered in snow. I went down to the Angel Hotel, where we were due to have lunch, to find out what was going on. It turned out the All Blacks were staying there as well, so we had a few beers together. We played on the Wednesday instead, but we still got about 40,000 there.It might be a case of the old memory playing tricks, but I think we completely outplayed them and should have won it. For a long time we led 3-0 and it didn’t look for a moment like they were going to score. At one stage the All Blacks were trying to summon a bit of energy, and one of them shouted out loud: “Come on boys, we’ve got them on the run here.” And John Hickey, in no uncertain terms, said: “You have got to be joking!” He used a few expletives as well. The look on his face was an absolute picture.Afterwards the All Blacks’ manager, Charlie Saxton, spoke to us, and said they were very, very fortunate not to have lost. It was a harsh lesson for a young player like me to learn, but the All Blacks absolutely never gave up until the game was over. Tony Steel went on a great run down the wing, and that was 3-3. It was just about the only chance they had. Even then, Barry John had a drop-goal chance at the death that just took the paint off the upright. Had we won it, against one of the greatest teams I ever played against, people would still be talking about it with great reverence. It was a wonderful performance by a side that had been put together literally in a week’.* the preceding is an extract from Sir Gareth’s autobiography. Sadly, Nick Williams OBE, a life-long friend of Sir Gareth’s from Millfield School, died in 2022.Auctioneer’s Note by Ben Rogers Jones: A rare rugby union jersey from a famous match from the early days of Sir Gareth’s playing career. A hastily assembled team stopped the New Zealand juggernaut in sweeping away all that faced them on the 1967 tour. Although perhaps a disappointing result for the East Wales players, having outplayed the formidable All Blacks for much of the match, it was one of the most famous draws and was a massive coup for the regional side.Auctioneer's Note:Each lot will be accompanied by the auction prospectus, signed by Sir Gareth Edwards CBE.
