A blue France No.1 international jersey circa 1934, with red and white neck 'v's and breast badge of embroidered cockerel standing on rugby ball; sold with an associated magazine cutting (2) This style of jersey is identical in all but one respect to those worn by France in their first ever Rugby League match on French soil (v England at the Stade Buffalo, 15 April 1934). The difference is that the cuffs on this jersey are white, whereas photographs of the 15 April 1934 match appear to show jerseys with blue cuffs. The jerseys for the French tour of England in March 1934 were rather different, therefore stylistically it would appear that this jersey was worn in one of France's first ever, subsequent, Rugby League Tests, probably by Cassagneau, of Quillan.
