Vic rugby man makes All Blacks
Gerald Kember is Victoria's latest All Black. He has been chosen as a second five-eighth for the coming tour of the British Isles.
Gerald began playing for Victoria in 1964. He was called to the Wellington squad the following year and by 1966 was a regular five-eighth in the representative team.
Nomination for the trials last year lead him to the All Black reserves for the series against the touring Lions.
Early this year he toured Japan with the successful New Zealand Universities team. More recently he played second five-eighth in the New-Zealand Juniors in their only game, against Taranaki.
Gerald has played representative cricket. He was in the Wellington under 20 side and was a member of the Brabin Shield team. In 1966 he travelled to Australia as a batsman with the New Zealand Universities team.
He is in his fourth year at Victoria, the last three of which he has read law. Arrangements are being made for him to sit the finals papers of his present four units at English Universities during the tour.
