I was at the game against Wakey .Kiwis won 23-12  with a crowd of just over 5000.

Fantastic read. Thanks ever so much for pointing me towards it!

I wonder who the three Kiwis are that they weren't able to track down for the reunion. Quite a sad aspect to the story.

One of if not the 1 st game I ever saw live

A proper long-form, in-depth article. Fantastic stuff!

Rochdale Hornets had the honour of hosting the first game of the tour. I remember it well.

I enjoyed reading that.  One of my first games was the tour match at Wilderspool where Warrington won 13 - 2.  Checking the score on the rugby league project, I noticed the crowd for that game, at 6,295, was bigger than any of the test match attendances.  How come the crowds for the tests were so low?  I know the article says that the games were live on TV, but 3, 4 and 5 thousand is shocking.
