The North vs South match, sometimes known as the Interisland match was a longstanding rugby union fixture in New Zealand. The first game was played in 1897, and the match became an annual fixture from 1902. Matches ceased during World War I from 1915-1918, but during World War II only the 1940, 1941 and 1942 games were cancelled, with competition resuming in 1943. The last annual match was played in 1995, with a one-off game at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium in 2012 to help fund raise for the financially troubled Otago Rugby Football Union, which was won by the South 34-24.〔My current reference was published in 1986, The most recent evidence I have found is an auction for the 1995 programme〕 Most early games were played in one of the four main cities, but from 1970 onwards the fixture was rotated around a number of provincial centres. ==Colours== The North Island traditionally played in black jerseys and black shorts, while the South Island played in white jerseys with white shorts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North vs South rugby union match」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
