The Wanganui Barbarians became the first team to defeat Chatham Island Rugby Club on their home soil in 23 years with a 45-22 win on the island on Saturday.
The team of 28 players, which on match day expanded out to 32 with extras from the wider touring party of 45, scored seven tries against their 25-man opposition, who play a festive match once a year.
Among the current Steelform Wanganui players in the group, fullback Tom Symes burned off his chasers to score two tries.
Captain-coach Peter Rowe also scored, playing at second-five, as did first-five Lindsay Horrocks, lock Jack Hodges, and reserves Scott Pedley and Dwayne Bishop.
Halfback David McNabb added five conversions.
