Gentle Giant : On Tour With The Jubilee All Blacks
Paperback Edition: 1
Disregarding the saying 'what goes on on tour stays on tour', Gentle Giant tells the story of the Jubilee All Blacks through the eyes of player Ron King. Departing Hokitika in August 1935, we join Ron on the five month adventure that took him and his teammates to the other side of the world.
Gentle Giant is as much about the All Blacks social programme as it is about the games the team played. It highlights a time when, with poor radio and no television, print media was paramount, and rugby writers set the scene for the rugby-following public.
