Fear for future of long-standing Invercargill rugby club

Club president Jason McIntosh said they had a decent list of players on paper who have shown interest but getting them all available and committed had proved a challenge.

Collegiate has had to default its round one division two Southland club rugby game and will make a call next week on the remainder of the 2023 competition.

There is now a fear about what it could mean long-term for the Collegiate Rugby Club which this year is celebrating 90 years and was where All Blacks legend Jeff Wilson started his rugby journey.
