England scrum-half Wilfried Sobey was part of the 29-strong squad that set sell for the Antipodes in 1930.

He was named as vice-captain to compatriot Doug Prentice.

Sobey though, did not feature in any of the four Tests against New Zealand or the sole meeting with Australia in the mammoth 28-match Tour, after suffering a knee injury in a Tour match against Wanganui.
