Report #7
15 August 2011

Game: North Harbour v Auckland at Eden Park
Date: Saturday the 4th of September 1994
Price: $3
Result: First ever win over the Scum 35-31!
Cover: The cover has the worst Harbour coach for a while going for a ball with Walsh, Bunce and Clarke in the background. Horrible ARFU logo, Export gold and block lettering with shading making up a largely forgettable cover.
The Vibe: Auckland like other unions, have had a love/hate relationship with the rugby programme. Sometimes they are full of informative and exciting info, sometimes they a 3-ply piece of human effluent paper, this is one of the later.
The Content: An article on the proposed two-round competition for 1995, Harbour seeking it's elusive first win, pen portraits and a lot of ARFU clubs looking for coaches.
Player Profile: Wasn't one.
Interesting Bits: Piss all (only 22 pages), the NH B team featured many players that would go on to represent Harbour, some players were even from Western United which changed its name shortly afterwards. They obvious interesting bit was that we won. Walter scored the greatest try there ever was and we drank a lot of booze at the Poe. My favourite ever game.
