_The Woods twins, Doris and Aileen, were born in Sydney in 1886 and were well known in the early 20th century as a singing duo. They toured Australia and New Zealand, were based in England for a time and during World War I moved to Asia, where they appear to have stayed. They were billed as "the New Zealand Twins" even though they were Australian. They  attached themselves to the New Zealand and South African rugby union teams in Britain in 1905 and 1907 respectively; there is a photo of them with one twin wearing an All Black jersey and the other, a Springbok one._
