N. Z. Maori Rugby

Following the annual Prince of Wales Cup rugby, played at Rugby Park between Northern and Southern Maori teams, the New Zealand Maori All Black selectors named a team to play Poverty Bay-East Coast.

The resulting game proved to be a good one, with the Maori team coming out on top by 14 points to five.
