Former All Black Shares Tour Shirt at Katikati Event

Former All Black Graeme Crossman donated a rugby shirt from his 1974 tour of Ireland at a Katikati event. The gesture highlights the deep-rooted connections between rugby and the local community.

The shirt was presented during the 'Rugby Remembers - Lest We Forget' event at the Katikati War Memorial Hall. This occasion commemorated local residents who served in conflicts, and also featured discussions on the history of rugby in Katikati, including the legacy of Dave Gallaher.

Attendees learned about Gallaher's contributions both on and off the field, strengthening the bond between the sport and the town's heritage.
