Action from the last match the New Zealand Lawyers team played, when they beat France 71-17 in Wellington in 2011.
The tournament is being organised and hosted by the London Law Society Rugby Club and will coincide with Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2015, which is being hosted in the United Kingdom. It will be played between the Rugby World Cup pool games and the semi-finals. The New Zealand team will be a combination of New Zealand-based players and Kiwi
lawyers working in the United Kingdom. “We have been given plenty of notice,” Paul Watkins says. “It’s time to forgo that second cappuccino of the day and start saving. “The chance to wrestle the Lawyers’ Rugby World Cup off Scotland and support the All Blacks to retain the RWC should not be missed.”
