Rugger Match

BEATEN 6-3 BY CLUB SELECTION IN THEIR THIRTEENTH GAME

By PAK LO

Full credit to the HKRU for first deciding to stage a test game before. definitely making up their minds on whether there would be an Inter- national series this season or not.

After last night's dismal and boring display, it would be no surprise were they to decide at their next meeting that the Internationals had gone far enough.

The result of the game was a draw with England scoring three points (one dropped goal) to the Rest of the Colony's three (one penalty goal), The first game should have late, screwed in a lovely kick to a spol fifteen yards from the bein the major attraction, for 3-3.
