Despite being without the services of a host of usual starters, St Patrick's College Silverstream were able to pile on the points at Wellington College today, winning 38-27 in trying conditions. Wellington opened the account, opportunistically pouncing on an errant St Pat’s clearance which saw Jayden Williams scoot away for the opening try of the match. Unfortunately for the home side, only a Hauiti-Parapara penalty would be added to their total in the opening stanza of the traditional match as Silverstream ran rampant...More

Match Details Result: England 26 – Wellington 15 When: 5 September 1973Weather: Fine and sunny Crowd: 30,000 The Tour: 1973 was supposed to be the year of the Springboks. But a letter from Prime Minister Norman Kirk to the NZRU in April asking them to defer the tour owing to apartheid. This in turn threw the international season into disarray.
