Centennial Rugby Parade

As a pipe-opener to the inter-island match and to celebrate 100 years of Rugby in New Zealand, a parade was held in Nelson on the morning of the game. Most teams throughout the Nelson Bays union were represented and several other organisations joined in to make this section of the celebrations a great success.
