A Tale of Two Defiant Kiwis

The story of the Ellis Park Test between New Zealand and South Africa at Christmas 1953 is a well worn one, but it loses little in the retelling

Misread the title as: "A Tale of Two Defiant Kings"

I thought it was going to be about Fiery and his other half.

I visited the site of the Tangiwai disaster this winter when up at the Mountain.

Recited the story to my daughter by memory, including Blair's fiance , wasn't sure if I was mixing up some fiction story I might gave heard until I found a plaque back at the carpark confirming my memory.
