Tom Richards Trophy

This trophy was made for the British Lions tour to Australia in 2001 and will be contested whenever Australia and the British Lions meet.  It was named after Tom Richards, the only Wallaby to have also been a British Lion*.  Made of crystal, it has a portrait of Tom Richards etched into the glass. 

*(Tom Richard's went to England with the 1908 Wallabies and later played for Gloucester which qualified him to play for the Lions. He was living in Sth Africa when the Lions toured there in 1910 and became a member of the team as a replacement for an injured player).
