- David_Gage abstract "David Gage, also known as Davy (11 January 1868 – 12 October 1916) was a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He played with the 1888–89 New Zealand Native football team, and represented New Zealand in 1893, and once in 1896 – where he captained the side.Gage was born in Kihikhi, New Zealand to a Māori mother, and British born father. After an early education in Auckland, he was awarded a scholarship to attend Te Aute College in the Hawke's Bay. After joining the Poneke Football Club of fellow Te Aute old-boy Thomas Ellison in 1887, he made his provincial debut for Wellington in that same year. It was probably at Ellison's suggestion that he was selected for Joe Warbrick's Native Football team that toured New Zealand, Australia, and Britain in 1888 and 1889.Gage played in 68 of the Natives side's 74 matches when in Britain, and appeared in their fixtures against Ireland, Wales, and England. The 74 British Isles matches were played within six months, averaging a match every 2.3 days, and the Natives' team often struggled to field a fit side. He could play anywhere in the backs, and ended up appearing in every back-line position despite originally being selected as a fullback. When the Natives toured Australia after the British Isles leg of their tour, Gage returned to New Zealand due to an ill relative. He did turn out for the team once they returned to New Zealand however, when he played a further five matches.After returned in Wellington, Gage continued playing for Poneke, and represented Wellington in 1889. The following season, the Wellington Rugby Union (WRU) – who administered the sport in the city – decided that Gage was ineligible for selection in the provincial team. Poneke responded by withdrawing from the club competition, and the exclusion of any Poneke players weakened the Wellington side considerably. Hawke's Bay hosted Wellington that season, and Gage was eligible for the Bay side after playing several club games in the region; despite the opportunity to "get even" with the Wellington authorities, he declined to play for Hawke's Bay. 1891 and 1892 saw Gage return to the Wellington side, and he was then selected for the first representative New Zealand side organised under the authority of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union. The New Zealand team toured Australia in 1893, and was captained by Gage's Poneke and Wellington team-mate Ellison. He was again selected for New Zealand in 1896, this time captaining the team against Queensland in Wellington. During his rugby career, which ended in 1901, Gage amassed 131 first-class appearances – an enormous number for the time.Gage worked as both a Māori interpreter, and later for the Wellington City Council. Following Gage's death from tuberculosis at age 48, the Poneke Club raised money to pay for a headstone, and support his widow and six children. Former Poneke and Wellington captain Sid Nicholls said of him: His sure foot could pilot the ball over the bar with little effort. He could side-step, dodge, serve, and keep his feet while others were floundering about ; in fact, Davy was a marvel on the field, and his sure taking of the ball and his instant return were perfection. He could collar his man and smother the pass as few could, and his smart, dodgy run, with a quick pass at the exact moment were characteristic of his brainy play.".
