Question

The Kiwis are recreating the All Golds tour at the end of the season - what are the All Golds?

Answer 1

The All Golds were the New Zealand rugby team that went to England in 1907 to play Rugby League.

They were called the All Golds because they were paid to go - even though it was a minimal amount and most of them had to give up their jobs to go.

The All Golds were the pioneers of Rugby League in New Zealand and Australia.

That's why the centenary of New Zealand Rugby League is actually a year before the Australians.

They might think they are the source of the great game down this way but unfortunatley they're not.
