Rugby In The Mud
Conditions could hardly have been worse when Nelson College and Hutt Valley High Schools' First Fifteens took the field at Broads last month. The field, already sodden, became more waterlogged as the game and the rain progressed, and by half-time the term "muddied oafs" certainly applied to most of the 30 players.
