World Cup - Golden Lions - Billy Boston

World Cups (2) - Great Britain 1957, 1960
Tries 2

The great measurement of Billy Boston's natural ability is that after only six matches of rugby league, and but nineteen years old, he was picked for the 1954 Lions' tour Down Under. No one else ever came out of rugby union so fast. No one so young had ever gone on tour before. No one yet has scored his first century of rugby league tries in only sixty-eight matches, as Boston did. Read his Hall of Fame entry here.
