Inter-Varsity Rugby

Even the spirited antics of the Weir Haka Party could do little to instil some life into Victoria's annual game with Auckland University College played at Athletic Park recently. In a most uninspiring match Auckland ran out the winners. 17-6. Auckland were without several of their star players in Tanner, Ludbrook, Hutchinson and Fitzpatrick, and indeed took the field with some third grade players in their line-up. Notwithstanding this, they were not hard pressed to defeat a listless Victoria hide, who were conspicuous for their complete lack of imagination in their flay. The one Victoria player who Impressed was Peter Osborne at full-back, who was his usual steady self and gave one of his safest displays this season.
