League: Former Kiwi player dies

Former Kiwi player and test referee Vic Belsham has died in Brisbane after a short illness.

Belsham, 80, from Auckland, toured Australia in 1948 but did not play tests.

His brother Sel played 10 tests from 1955-57 and Vic refereed two games at the 1957 World Cup, in which his brother played at halfback.
