Swansea RFC & 'The Big Three': New Zealand 1905 - 1989

Start Here

This audio trail follows each of the New Zealand National Rugby team's tours that came to St Helen's, the UK more generally, and how Swansea RFC responded to the challenges they posed. The trail covers a period between 1905 - 1989. This audio trail is also a part of a set of three, as two others trails also share the similar history of Australia and South Africa. Combined together the three form the southern hemisphere's 'Big Three'. 

This audio trail runs for around 50 minutes, and is split into seven parts. The final entry runs for over 10 minutes, so please do leave ample time to listen to it comfortably.
