It was an intense physical clash of the old rivals and Newport fully deserved their 22-13 win. Shane Howarth, playing at full-back, collected 17 points with a conversion and 5 penalties - converting Newport?s only try scored by a typical charging run for the line by Canadian prop Rod Snow. It was former Springbok captain and No 8 Gary Teichmann?s first game since taking on the captaincy from Shane Howarth.
