Petone to defend
The only disappointing feature of the quadrangular Rugby club champions’ tournament in Wellington this week-end is that the top claimants for the title. Petone and Christchurch, will meet in the first round. ; Petone, the holder of the [tournament trophy, has a [strong side which includes [the All Blacks. Andy Leslie, [lan Stevens and John Dougan. ißut Christchurch, with the benefit of a short, sharp tour iof eastern Australia this [month, looms as a strong challenger to the powerful l Wellington team. It has a competent pack and an enterprising back-line, and it will not be overawed iby Petone’s reputation.
The other sides in the tournament are Tokoroa (Waikato) and Green Island (Otago), who will play in the other semi-final today. The winning teams will meet in the final tomorrow, and the. losers will play off for third place.
