Magic Kiwis: Lance Cairns

This Lance Cairns documentary was on TV in New Zealand way back in 1991. This documentary also features a very young Christopher Cairns when he was just 20 years of age!
It was salvaged from a very old VHS tape, so the quality isn't great, but there doesn't seem to be any copy of it on the internet so I thought I'd help preserve it for everyone to enjoy.
