Herdenking WO I – David Gallaher Kapitein “All Blacks”
Herdenking WO I – David Gallaher kapitein “All Blacks” Op zaterdag 3 oktober 2015 wordt er op het grondgebied van het Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917, een rugbywedstrijd gespeeld tussen New Zealand Army en de Belgische nationale mannenploeg, de Zwarte Duivels. Deze wedstrijd wordt georganiseerd als herdenking aan de toenmalige kapitein van de All-Blacks, David Gallaher, die in de Eerste Wereldoorlog in Passendaele sneuvelde. De organisatie is een samenwerking tussen de Nieuw-Zeelandse ambassade, de Vlaamse Rugbybond, de Belgische Rugbybond en het Memorial Museum Passchendaele 1917 Voorgeschiedenis In 1905 deden de “All Blacks”, die tot dan nog de “Originals” werden genoemd, hun veelbesproken tour in Europa, met als kapitein David Gallaher. De Nieuw-Zeelanders waren zo goed dat een reporter schreef: “they played as all backs”. Maar door een spellingfout stond er boven het artikel “they played as All Blacks”. Een mythe was geboren. De “All Blacks” wonnen al hun Europese wedstrijden, met uitzondering van één wedstrijd tegen Wales. Nieuw-Zeeland in Passendale Midden september 1917 werd het Australian en New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) naar Vlaanderen gehaald voor de verovering van Passendale. Op 4 oktober zorgden de Nieuw- Zeelanders voor een doorbraak op ’s Graventafel, terwijl de Australiërs het huidige Tyne Cot Cemetery innamen. Op 9 oktober probeerden Britse troepen tevergeefs verder vooruit te komen, opnieuw gevolgd door het ANZAC op 12 oktober. In deze bloedige gevechten verloren de Kiwi’s in minder dan vier uur tijd 2700 soldaten, wat een enorm hoge tol was voor het nog jonge Nieuw- Zeeland. Ter nagedachtenis van de ANZAC- troepen die hier in september en oktober 1917 een bloedige strijd geleverd hebben, wordt er van 2 tot 4 oktober 2015, een speciaal ANZAC weekend, georganiseerd. -

Here We Come 14
“For anyone who is interested in looking beyond the names, the dates, the half-truths and the mythologies and entering the realm of rugby’s place in our history, this is a must read.” — Chris Laidlaw Rugby is New Zealand’s national sport. From the grand tour by the 1888 Natives to the upcoming 2015 World Cup, from games in the North African desert in World War II to matches behind barbed wire during the 1981 Springbok tour, from grassroots club rugby to heaving crowds outside Eden Park, Lancaster Park, Athletic Park or Carisbrook, New Zealanders have made rugby their game. In this book, historian and former journalist Ron Palenski tells the full story of rugby in New Zealand for the first time. It is a story of how the game travelled from England and settled in the colony, how Ma¯ori and later Pacific players made rugby their own, how battles over amateurism and apartheid threatened the sport, how national teams, provinces and local clubs shaped it. But above all it is a story of wing forwards and fullbacks, of Don Clarke and Jonah Lomu, of the Log of Wood and Charlie Saxton’s ABC, of supporters in the grandstand and crackling radios at 2 a.m. Ron Palenski is an author and historian and among the most recognised authorities on the history of sport, and especially rugby, in New Zealand. He has written numerous books, among them an academic study, The Making of New Zealanders, that placed rugby firmly as a marker in national identity. Contents Acknowledgements 9. -
From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands. -

March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT In 1981, during the height of apartheid, the South African national rugby team, the Springboks, toured to New Zealand and the United States of America. In South Africa, the tour was expected to reopen the doors to international competition for the Springboks after an anti-apartheid sporting boycott had forced the sport into relative isolation during the 1970s. In the face of much international condemnation, the Springboks toured to New Zealand and the USA in 1981 where they encountered large and often violent demonstrations as those who opposed the tour attempted to scuttle it. -

Memorial Unveiled to ‘Original’ All Black in Donegal
Memorial unveiled to ‘Original’ All Black in Donegal Sir Jerry Mateparae and IRFU President Philip Orr recently unveiled Ramelton’s memorial to Dave Gallaher, Captain of the ‘Original’ All Blacks, to mark the 100th anniversary of the legendary player’s death at the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. Born in Ramelton, Dave Gallaher’s family emigrated to the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand in 1878 as part of the Vesey-Stewart Special Settlement Scheme. Dave was five years old. They settled in Katikati, on the North Island where David’s mother Maria, became the local schoolteacher. Maria died in 1887 at the tragically young age of 42, leaving 11 children without a mother. Two years later, the 17-year old Dave Gallaher moved to Auckland and played rugby – first for the Parnell Club and then the Ponsonby Club from 1896. In that year he also debuted at provincial level. His rugby career was interrupted when in 1901, he joined the New Zealand Contingent of Mounted Rifles to fight in the Boer War. Gallaher is revered as the captain of the 1905/06 New Zealand touring team (the first to be known as the All Blacks) that won 34 out of 35 matches during that tour, setting a high standard for all future All Blacks teams to follow. During the First World War, 43 year old Gallaher enlisted in the 2nd Battalion, Auckland Regiment within the New Zealand Division to fight in Europe. At the Battle of Passchendaele he was shot in the face during the attack on Gravenstafel Spur, Belgium on 4 October 1917 and died later that day.
