Not exactly a rugby story but memorable anyway.
September '72
My family finally got to visit our Kiwi relatives during a three year stit down-under. One cool afternoon we went to visit the Sorensen family. I got to meet uncle Peter and cousins Dane and Kurt for the first time.
Being a rather skinny 14 year old (55kg) these two guys were HUGE - even cousin Ken was on the skinny side in comparison. He's made up for it in later years though...
To pass the time Dane propsed a quiet softball game in the back yard. No worries, at least I would avoid any painful physical contact. First to bat; Kurt (a 15-stone 14 year old with no real understanding of his own strength).
First swing at the ball - crack - the bat breaks in two and goes flying into the neighbours back yard. "You stupid B-rd" Dane comments. An intense wrestling match insues and Ken joins in. I quietly fade into the background....
The story continues some 30 years later when I got to play a game of touch with the 'Gators. Ken and Kurt gave me a quick resume of the rules and off we went. First time on the pitch Kurt sets me up beutifully and I scored my first try in 30 years..,
