Rugby league Junior Kiwis crush tour opponents
NZPA correspondent London New Zealand’s Junior Kiwi rugby league team won, 56-2, against the Yorkshire youth side at Wakefield yesterday to take its points tally to 110 in the first two matches of a British tour. The tourists scored nine tries and Thomas Perenara had a 100 per cent goal-
klcking record, being successful with all the conversions and one penalty. After their 54-6 win over Cumbria during the week-end the Junior Kiwis already have 20 tries with five tour matches, including two tests against England amateurs, remaining. They led 14-2 at half-time yesterday and faced some
rugged play and tough refereeing, said the manager, Max Williams.
He counted 13 penalties against the tourists and one ; against Yorkshire in the second half.
The Kiwi try-scorers were: Tony Tuimavave, Todd Price, Tony Kemp and Kevin Iro (all two each) and Carl Hall.
