Smethurst ‘Well Rona old girl, things don't look too safe for you anymore.’ Sport Two Maori Basketball ‘All Blacks’ Among the husky footballers training nightly at a Rotorua sportsground are two Maori New Zealand ‘All Blacks’: Mirth te Moananui and Rebecca Faulkner, who will tour England with the New Zealand basketball team in June. They spent each night at the park running up to two miles and doing exercises arranged by the team's coach, Miss D. Cockerton. And with only two months to go, their get-fit campaign has top priority. Since they were selected for the team last October, the girls have not played a game of basketball, and have relied on softball and swimming to keep fit. Both girls have represented Rotorua at softball and have played a little off-season indoor basketball.
