AbstractHistoryArchive Description
A country visitor to Sydney describes his first Rugby Union match, between the Wairoas and the Invincibles at Sydney's Woodnor Park. 'Naive' description, comparisons etc. Spectator's tough; compares barracking to a corroboree; leap-frog on field scrum. One comparison of a player to a 'negro' with a chicken under his arm. Casualties of players at half-time. A dead pup thrown at an umpire and his retaliation. (PB)
