Wellington.—Securing almost a monopoly of the ball from tho set scrums and showing plenty of penetrative ability in the backs, the Auckland Rugby representatives beat Wellington 12—10 at Athletic Park on Saturday, thereby maintaining their unbeaten record. Each side scored two tries. Wellington converting both and Auckland one, but a field goal by Hare, tile Auckland full-back, from 40 yards out, proved a substantial contribution to his side’s winning margin. This two-point margin, however, scarcely indicated the difference between the teams. Nelson. —Seddon Shield: West Coast 19 v. Nelson (holders) 12. Hawke’s Bay.—Southern Saracens 13 v.
