The same year he became the youngest ever player to play for Great Britain when he was brought on in a match against France. On a Great Britain Lions tour he taped over the British Coal logo on his jersey to show his support for the miners. Building up his reputation playing in a number of tours and cups, Shaun Edwards dedication on the field shone through when he was awarded the Man of Steel Award for playing most of the 1990 Challenge Cup final with a broken eye socket and cheekbone. At the end of the 1991-92 season he was credited with being the league’s top try scorer, leading him to be selected for the 1992 Great British Lions Tour of Australia and New Zealand.
