Jersey numbers according to the program:

NC: Sneddon was initially a reserve but no number on program, 13. Fred Brown, 12. Bob Crane, Jack Mantle not listed, 10. Tom Pitman, 11. Doug Hawke, Gus Gray like Sneddon, reserve, no number.

GB: 8. Lewis Jones, 5. Doug Hreenall, 7. Ernie Ashcroft, 6. Phil Jackson, 24. Nat Silcock, 11. Ray Price, 14. Gerry Helme, 20. Jack Wilkinson, 17. Tommy Harris, 21. Brian Briggs, 16. Alan Prescott, 22. Geoff Gunney, 26. Dave Valentine.

I am assuming that the GB side were given tour numbers & played in the same number every game. The program lists all the numbers if you want to complete all the games, let me know.

Referee: It says J.Sneddon. I think you accidentally put in the player Bill Sneddon as a player & referee. Touch Judges: W.Wheatley & W.Jackson.

W.Jackson POSSIBLY:
