Global Results - 8 November
Three Southern Hemisphere countries one in the north but South Africa, the Cocks of the South, were not one of them. In what was surely the worst Springbok performance of all times, they lost to a patchwork, pick-up club side.
In the Test matches between North and South, two tries were scored.
In Christchurch Canterbury again won the Air New Zealand Cup and Wellington again came second.
