Southland Rugby Union - Official Souvenir Programme - 1926

The following programme was sent to Yacck by the family of Jim Archer.  

There is an interesting article regarding the 1924 All Black's captain, Jock Richardson who led the team in every one of their victorious internationals.  

In the Maori team of 1926 was another Southland, Ray Bell who was deputy captain.

William Stead was vice captain of the 1910 Maori team and Son White was second in command of the New Zealand team which defeated New South Wales at Wellington in 1923.

In 1905, when Gallagher and Stead were away in England it was another Southlander, Gerry Burgess, who deputised for them by leading a second New Zealand team to victory against New South Wales in Dunedin.

There is a photo of the Southland Representative team in 1925 with some of the following profiles:
J. Brodie, P. Ward, A. McCormack, M. F. Nicholls, T. F. Mullen, N. P. McGregor N. Doreen, A. C. C. Robilliard, I. Gray, J. Harris, G. Leahy, J. Jeffries,
