It was another week of quality dramatic rugby in the inaugural regional league. Quality professional rugby was on full display as the Golden Jackals and the Northern Stars played to a thrilling 30:30 tie. Both teams in turn fought gallantly back from losing positions with the Jackals missing a difficult conversion to win as time expired. <\/p>\n\n
