Rugby: Wellington thumps Otago

Wellington beat Otago 45-10 in a pre-season match in Wellington yesterday, but losing coach Steve Martin said it was an improvement on last week.

The home side scored seven tries to two and led 28-5 at half-time, scoring two tries near the end of the game to inflate the scoreline.

Played in fine conditions on a spongy field at Porirua Park in the afternoon, Wellington gave the ball plenty of air, and was powerful at the breakdown.

Martin, though not happy with the loss, said it was an improvement in intensity from last week, and he was pleased with the performances of the set pieces.
