Buller's George Orman toured twice with the Kiwis in the late-1930s.A former Buller and South Island rugby union rep, Orman - a promising soccer player in his native Scotland - was a three-time All Black triallist before switching codes.Orman quickly gained a reputation as a top-quality hooker and went on New Zealand's 1938 tour of Australia. No Tests were played, but the 27-year-old debuted in a 37-18 win over NSW - facing an all-star front-row of Ray Stehr, Roy Kirkaldy and Henry Porter - and played in five more matches at hooker.Chosen for the following year's trip to Britain, Orman featured in the 19-3 tour-opening win over St Helens - one of only two matches played before the tour was cancelled due to the outbreak of WWII.The coalminer later returned to rugby union, again representing the Buller provincial team.
