When did you get it?

Okay the referee is J. P. Murphy just for the record

So since that is Sid it is the test from 10/8/68 Eden Park

Oh, right you are! That must make it the 10 August 1968 Eden Park test then - the only match Going, Gray, McCormick, Strahan and Thorne played in against the French.

That game is also noteable as Owen Stephens' only game for the All Blacks,

and the All Black top left is Grahame Thorne

and if it is the 27/7/68 game that is not Sid Going it is Chris Laidlaw

Far left is All Black prop is Ken Gray

It's entirely possible I'm wrong though.

The lock-looking fellow is lock Sam Strahan, dude on the left looks kinda like Fergie McCormick... Stuffed if I know who blondie is. He may be a reserve, I can't find lists for subs. This could be from the Athletic Park test on 27/07/1968 from the 1967/68
