Great atmosphere prevailed at the Havelock Sports Club grounds yesterday as the Rugby Rumble, a tag rugby carnival took place. The event was worked off in two categories over 35 years and over 25 years representing all the regular rugby playing schools.
In this tag game every try was counted as 1 point and there was no conversion in the game. Top two teams of the group will play in the cup quarter finals while bottom teams will play the bowl quarter finals. Losers in those quarter finals will play in the plate and shield semi finals respectively.
