In a historic achievement, James Fisher-Harris, Georgia Hale, and Jérémy Bourson have etched their names in Golden Boot history.
Fisher-Harris, the formidable prop, has become the first of his position to ever claim this prestigious award since it was established in 1984.
His remarkable accolades continue to grow as he adds the IRL Golden Boot to his collection, alongside the Pacific Cup medal earned after leading the Kiwis to an astounding 30-0 victory over the Kangaroos.
Not only that, but Fisher-Harris proudly boasts his third consecutive NRL premiership ring with Penrith.
The New Zealand captain's exceptional talent and leadership have been acknowledged as he was presented with the coveted IRL Golden Boot by legendary captain Brad Fittler, a former winner himself.
Meanwhile, Hale, a force to be reckoned with, clinched the women's award as the first forward to achieve this feat.
Bourson, France's own prodigy, made history by becoming the first-ever Golden Boot recipient from his nation.
Despite being based in the Northern Hemisphere, both Hale and Bourson were unfortunately unable to attend the gala event.
The IRL Golden Boot, an illustrious honor, recognizes the outstanding performance of players in sanctioned rugby league international matches.
The expertise of Fisher-Harris was recognized by a distinguished panel consisting of revered Golden Cap recipients, including the likes of Adam Blair, James Graham, Darren Lockyer, Adrian Morley, and Ruben Wiki, renowned for their contributions to the game on a global scale.
