To make the game more exciting, the NU abolishes the line-out and reduces value of all goals to two points. Tries worth three points.

*The pitch was frozen and the
fixture postponed but the clubs agreed to play a friendly match instead.
*The match
was played in farcical conditions but the result
was later ordered to stand as a league result, despite only 20 Minutes being
played.
