The 1946 Great Britain rugby league team, nicknamed the 'Indomitables,' has been inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame. This squad achieved an unparalleled unbeaten Ashes series against Australia, a historic accomplishment that has not been replicated by any other Great Britain team in an away Test series.
The 'Indomitables' completed their momentous tour of Australia and New Zealand with an undefeated record in the Ashes. Following a draw in Sydney, they secured victories in Brisbane and another in Sydney to clinch the series.
This tour, spanning five months, was the first major international sporting event for a British team after World War Two. The team played 27 matches, winning 21, drawing one, and losing five. Their induction follows the 1996 Great Britain Lionesses, honored two years prior for their own Ashes victory.
