Many of them are former members of representative teams. Memorable players such as Jim and Brian Chambers Claude Berry, Inky Wilson, Harry Findlay, Alan Whimp, Maurice and Vincent Rush, Tom Spry, Ritchie Akapita, Willie Wilson, Ken George, Ray Parr and Bill Rewiti and many others will be taking part.
