Spectacular Points
When Minns hurled himself over at the corner in the second half of the Auckland - Waikato representative game on Monday, the spectacular nature of the try was enhanced by the fact that it was the means of bringing Auckland level with the home team’s score. Then Butler set about the task of converting it and putting Auckland two points in the lead. The kick was taken almost on the touch-line near the twenty-five, and before it could be attempted the assistance of a touchline judge had to be secured to clear a runway for Butler through the crowd seated on the grass near the line. Butler was warmly applauded by an impartial and very sporting crowd when the leather sailed cleanly between the posts.
