Wairarapa-Bush won \ufb01ve of its 11-match programme, all of which were gained on its own territory. Its largest win -\u2014 by the handsome margin of twenty points \u2014 was against the touring Victorian team where the home backs proved far superior. The emphasis on spinning the ball resulted in the backs scoring 19 of the side\u2019s 21 tries in the eight matches when the opposition\u2019s line was crossed. Although down 10 to 3 at half-time, Wairarapa-Bush had the better of the Ranfurly Shield match up to that stage.<\/p>\n

The withdrawal through personal reasons of the 1972 captain and half-back, Karatau, did not help iron out the Selector\u2019s problem of quick service from a hard-working forward pack which played too loose to ensure clean ball.<\/p>\n

As admirably as he played behind the scrum, Harris did not give speedy delivery, and the new 20-year old 1st \ufb01ve-eighth, McEwen (who showed much promise in place of the injured Sanson) was often harassed by opposition \ufb02ankers . . . a notable occurrence in Wairarapa-Bush\u2019s big loss in the Ranfurly Shield challenge against Marlborough. Inder was a solid second \ufb01ve-eighth with good defence, while centre Martin (who captained the team early in the season) was the side\u2019s best back with his ability to make the \u201cbreak\u201d; he played in all eleven matches.<\/p>\n

A 1969 Wairarapa winger, Sims, appeared to have lost some of his pace (he returned after representing Manawatu in 1970-71); Hooper-Smith, who last appeared in 1970, occupied the other wing position for three games before leaving the district. A newcomer, the 13st., 21-year old Glover, then impressed with his hip-thrusting running and looks a wing-three quarter of much promise. Bargh, who made one appearance at centre, was a 1971 Poverty Bay representative. Couch was an enterprising full-back (he also played in the \ufb01ve-eighths), but his unavailability for Sunday play saw a schoolteacher from Wanganui, Giles make his \ufb01rst-class debut at full-back; he appeared in \ufb01ve matches and registered 17 points against King Country.<\/p>\n

The promising Lock\/No. 8, Dalziell, who appeared previously in 1971, missed the latter part of the season through injury; the 1972 regular No. 8, Taylor, also suffered injury and made only three appearances. Turley, who has now played over 90 \ufb01rst-class matches, was a strength in the line-outs and was the only forward to appear in all 11 \ufb01xtures. The veteran Oliver, who had earlier\u00a0indicated his intention to retire at the end of the Season, was replaced later in the programme by a promising young newcomer at lock, Clarke. McConnochie and Ryan were a lively pair of \ufb02ankers, the latter taking over the captaincy after the third game. Wyeth and Spence were new side-rankers who appeared late in the programme; the 21-year old Spence looks a player of promise and should bene\ufb01t from his transfer to the Senior A club grade in 1974. Dalton, a 1968 Mid-Canterbury representative, and Playle, who made one appearance as a reserve in 1970 for Wairarapa, teamed up as a solid pair of front-row props. McGlashan and newcomer Geange shared the hooking berth after regular hooker since 1968,Falconer, announced his retirement; he appeared Once as a replacement and, in all, has made 51 appearances for his Union.<\/p>\n

For the 11 engagements, 36 players were called on, of which 13 were newcomers to representative Rugby.<\/p>\n

Of the regular 1972 representatives, the prop A.B.Henwood had left the district, winger Roger Twentyman had retired, While the Maori prop W. N. Rowlands was in temporary retirement. N.A.Purvis had returned to Central Otago.<\/p>\n

Ryan toured with the New Zealand Juniors, and the ex-Wairarapa All Black, B. J. Lochore, appeared for the President\u2019s XV. and Invitation XV. against the New Zealand side.<\/p>\n
