1921 Springbok tour programme
This is the official souvenir programme from the third test in the first series played between the Springboks and the All Blacks in 1921. The Springboks had lost the first test in Dunedin 13–5 but bounced back to win 9–5 in Auckland. The deciding test, played at Wellington's Athletic Park in awful weather, ended in a 0–0 draw, leaving the series tied 1–1.

I am interested in the players Attie Van heerden and (George?) Van Rooyen who played for the Springboks on the 1921 tour and later played for Wigan in the 1920's .I am interested to know whether they returned home and what became of them and their descendants.I would be most grateful for any assistance.
Regards,
Bill Anderson. (Wigan England)
