24/09/83. From Lancaster Park. Grizz Wyllie vs John Hart. Man of the match would have to be Victor Simpson. First appearance on Lancaster Park for John Kirwan. One great run, but shows his inexperience by stepping over the touchline on the way to the tryline.
if only he hadnt gone into touch

That would have been the best try that John Kirwan never scored. There was a bit of tension in this game as there were plenty of Canterbury players selected for the All Blacks and no Auckland players. The Aucklanders were pretty annoyed as at the time, they were also unbeaten in the NPC.
