A white England No.1 international shirt 1933, with breast badge embroidered with shield of English roses and PARIS 1933 Sullivan was one of four of the Welsh team who played against Australia at Wembley on 30 December 1933 (Sullivan as Captain) and then journeyed to Paris to play for England against the Australians at the Stade Pershing the following day. This, the first Rugby League game to be played in France, was an exhibition match to boost the game in a country which had been thrown out of international rugby union in 1931 for 'dabbling in professionalism.' Australia won 63-13.
