The problem is, 30 years ago the silver haired mob you see at Classic meetings were young-ish dudes piling into the back of a PB Vauxhall to join the throngs of other young dudes on the Hill at Pukekohe...... Fast forward thirty years from now they'll all be dead and today's pathetic Tier 1 will be a pathetic classic crowd....
Small Blacks TV isn't produced by the NZRU because they want to get more Kids to test matches.... It's produced to get more kids to want to go to test matches rather than Basketball matches.
