Rugby 1971

An early start to the 1971 season has been organised with pre-season training runs starting on the first day of enrolment—these will be held down at Boyd Wilson field under the guidance of several Senior A players and ex—All Blacks such as Mick Bremner, Bill Clark and Bob Stuart. It is hoped that trials will be played as soon as the term begins so players will be placed into teams well before the season starts (the Orientation Handbook will contain further information as to times and organisers of each training run). With the clubrooms as attractive as they now are the Rugby Club expects to have an even greater number of teams next year—all those wishing or intending to form a social team are advised to contact Ian Dunn as early next year as possible (phone 66959). The Club has already announced its coaches for 1971 and is expectant of an extremely good response from students to play "serious" rugby, especially with the preseason training schedule being under way already.
