This scarf was issued to the All Black legend Sir Colin 'Pinetree' Meads. it was 'hanging' off his bag as he entered the Seabank Hotel in Porthcawl during the 1963 tour, one eagle eyed supporter watched closely as the scarf fell to the ground and the legend walked on oblivious to his missing kit. The supporter immediately picked up the scarf, run along and caught up with Colin and offered it up to it's rightful owner. Well that's what he should have done but instead he stuck it up his jumper and added it to his collection of memorabilia. Thankfully he's now donated it to the museum. The scarf measures 11" x 80" (29cm x 204cm) and has a few moth holes.

SPRINGBOK TRAIN HEADBOARD

Whilst touring New Zealand in 1956 the Springbok rugby team travelled the length and breadth of New Zealand in special trains. There were two different trains used by the tour party, one on the North Island, one on the South.  Each train had a special hand painted headboard attached to the front. Pictured below is the North Island headboard. NZ railways could find no further use for the headboard once the tour had finished, it was acquired by a New Zealand train driver who then added it to his already sizeable rugby memorabilia collection. Here it remained in his collection until 1995 when it was purchased by the World Rugby Museum.
