Team suspended
NZPA-Reuter Buenos Aires The Argentine champions Tucuman were suspended from playing representative matches at home for a year after a violent clash with the New Zealand Maoris last month, the Argentine Rugby Union (U.A.R.) said yesterday. The U.A.R. said the ban included matches against local and international opposition, but it did not prevent Tucuman from going ahead with a planned tour of France, Spain and Italy next May. The Maoris ended an 11-match tour of Europe and Argentina with a 12-3 victory in Tucuman —1300 km north-west of Buenos Aires — on November 20 in a game marred by violence on and off the field.
