Info
This pair of cufflinks was produced to mark Swansea RFC having won 12 ("XII") consecutive matches - not including cup matches - in a season. This was achieved between 5th January 2008 and 2nd may 2008 under Head Coach Richard Webster and Ian Jones (Backs Coach) with Mathew Evans as captain. The last time that a run of non-cup wins was made to match this was in the 1993-94 season. In that season the run was made twice with 12 consecutive non-cup wins from 20th October 1993 to 4th December 1994 and again from 11th January 1994 to 30th April 1994 when 15 consecutive non-cup matches were won. The cufflinks shown here represent the first time the achievement was equalled in the Semi-Pro era.
