BEST TOBACCO MONEY CAN BUY
There is a good reason why Rothmans is the World’s largest selling – most wanted King Size Virginia. It’s simply that Rothmans extra length, finer filter and the best tobacco money can buy, give you a cooler, smoother, more satisfying taste. Try them yourself and you’ll agree.
ROTHMANS KING SIZE REALLY SATISFIES

H.B. v INVITATION FIFTEEN

Before a crowd estimated at 7,000, and played in brilliant sunshine, the final game of rugby for 1965, in which the NZ Invitation XV beat Hawke’s Bay by 25 points to 16, was played at McLean Park, Napier. Bright, open football was the order of the day, and the crowd loved every minute of it. Here, All Black Ron Rangi is about to be tackled by H.B. back Johnny Nuku.

We hope that Briscoe’s chest wasn’t crushing the elbow of H.B. captain Kel. Tremain, whilst “De Thimble” looked for the ball.

A fine line jump by Wellington and NZ. prop, Ken Gray, with his H.B. opposite number Rod Abel, who was playing his last game, was only a few inches away.

The Bay backline swings into action.

At this stage of the game, there was some confusion as to who was playing for the Invitation XV.

Shown dotting the ball down under the posts is H.B. back Blair Furlong, who also made his last appearance for this province.

Swamped by small boys, Ken Gray signs autograph books.

A plucky young lady from Tutira, Gail McKenzie, was the only member of the gentler sex willing to have a go at the steer ride. Gail at least lasted a few seconds on the animal, a somewhat better result than some of the boys.
