In 1905 England hosted the New Zealand All Blacks (famously known as The Originals) at Crystal Palace. The match was a one sided affair with New Zealand running out 0-15 winners, scoring 5 tries. The match and it's result is now long since forgotten but there is one lasting legacy from that match...
The referee's whistle.
The same whistle used to officiate that game survives today at the famous #rugby museum in Auckland. It is stamped with the names of the two teams, the name of the referee and the date. Even more remarkable is the fact that every four years that same whistle is blown at the start of the Rugby World Cup before being quickly returned to its home at the museum.
What's more, the company that made the 1905 version of the whistle are still making whistles today for sporting events large and small all over the world - #acme whistles in Birmingham, UK.
