IRB (INTERNATIONAL RUGBY BOARD), Pacific 5 Nations, struck in gilt (50mm), by Millers Badges (Sydney), inscribed '2006/Champions'. Extremely fine, in fitted case.
In the first year (2006) the IRB Pacific Five Nations did not include Australia. Australia had been invited to take part in the inaugural 2006 tournament but decided against sending a team stating that they wanted to focus on their domestic competition. The inaugural tournament kicked-off 3 June 2006 and was played in a round-robin format, with some games being held in Australia.
The Junior All Blacks won all of their matches en route to winning the 2006 tournament. The inaugural tournament was a success in providing a platform for Pacific nations and Japan in gaining valuable exposure.
