Junior A Rugby

Junior A Rugby

The second XV added to Its record by defeating [unclear: Kaiwarra] 19-8 on Saturday: but though the margin was handsome the game was not satis-factory. Too many forwards were inclined to play loose, and poor tackling and backlng-up let opponents through.

The game started with a dash which promised fast and high-scoring play: but partly because of difficulty in handling the greasy ball and the retarding of back movements by the heavy ground, the game gradually degenerated into a scramble.

At full-back Greig played well—his kicking was tremendous—though he had some difficulty in fielding the rolling ball.

A good three-quarter line was spoilt by the infrequency and slowness with which the ball reached it. [unclear: Mahood] and [unclear: Ekdahl] showed plenty of dash, and Papps is playing really promising Rugby.
