Having withdrawal symptoms?
Feeling deprived of sport and having withdrawal symptoms? They can range from mild to serious. What yours are depends on how much you watch and play, and for how long.
To help with these, here’s your fix of Saturday club rugby. Today was meant to be Round 4 of the local competition here in Dunedin however obviously that isn’t happening. Instead, for your Saturday rugby fix I’ve put together a throwback to 2011, 2014 and 2019. There’s country rugby from Lawrence and Kaitanagata, as well as Round 4 scores from 2011, 2014 and 2019. For good measure I went onto You Tube and found coverage from the Otago Daily Times of the 2016 Dunedin Premier Club Final between Dunedin and Kaikorai along with University A hosting Southern in 1995.

Stay safe, stay health and be kind everyone.

In 2011, due to gear malfunction I missed a few rounds while the motor-drive on my Camera was being fixed. This meant I missed Round 4 (and possibly Round 5) of that year. Since I missed shooting Round 4, here’s a Round 2 match from the same year.
