The 1946 Indomitables made themselves the most memorable touring team in British rugby league history with their remarkable achievements in the face of unprecedented challenges. Published to mark the tour’s 80th anniversary and lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs, The Indomitables – who were named after the aircraft carrier that transported the 26 rugby players to Australia – is the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the 1946 tour ever written.
