Nelson forward Bert Feary represented New Zealand on the 1911 tour of Australia.
The former rugby union player switched codes and turned out for the fledgling Nelson provincial side against Auckland in 1910.
Feary earned a spot in the New Zealand touring party the following season and appeared in wins over Newcastle and Queensland.
Two years later, he represented Nelson and a dominant NSW team stacked with legends of the code’s formative era, teaming up in the front-row with brother Kempster.
