There was a bit of excitement at Springlands Lifestyle Village on Monday afternoon with the Ranfurly Shield visiting for young and old alike. In 1973, Marlborough won the Ranfurly Shield with a 13-6 victory over Canterbury at Lancaster Park in one of the bigger upsets of an era when the shield was the greatest prize in New Zealand rugby. To be fair, it still is the greatest prize, given the reception and enthusiasm from the residents to see it after 51 years. Continued on page 2.
