Soccer

Winding up third at last year's tournament, Victoria's representatives were generally considered the best ball-players, but gave away too much weight to their opponents. This year they've been filling up on spinach and yoghourt, and have had to be restrained from challenging the All Blacks.

After tournament, an NZU team will be touring the Auckland province and Judd Heywood. Jeff Allison and Chris Ryan, all of Victoria, can be regarded as certainties for this side if they play as well as last year. Rod Bustard, Max Bognuda and Graham Semple all have a good chance of going on tour as well. So don't be surprised if the footballers add eight points to the university total.

The team is: Heywood, Allison, Ryan, Bustard. Bognuda. Semple, Arens, Cooper. Coster, Gower, Kerr. Murchison, Reddish, Taylor, Cahill, Langron.
