Inter-island rugby rivalry back with North vs South game

From Morning Report, 6:49 am on 4 September 2020

Inter-island rugby rivalry returns this weekend when the North faces the South in what will be an empty stadium Wellington.

A regular fixture in the amateur era, it has been revived in a year robbed of top-flight competition by Covid-19.

Former All Blacks captain Graham Mourie remembers how the match would capture public interest in the 1970s and 80s.
