Disappointing Rugby

The first representative Rugby played under the new rules was a disappointment to a biggish crowd. The Seddon Shield holders, Nelson, managed to beat Golden Bay-Motueka 13-11, but there was little merit in their win. In the second half, Golden Bay scored eight points to none by Nelson and the Bay side looked by far the more lively.
