next month's World Rugby Classic bash.

Organisers are removing the bawd from the traditional Number One Shed rave-up.

Party-goers planning to whoop it up after the rugby will not be treated to on-stage antics from the players.

Instead, they should expect clean, wholesome fun served up by professional bands.

"I believe there will be a different style to this year's party,'' said Corporation of Hamilton Secretary Mr. Roger Sherratt.

The Corporation -- which runs Number One Shed -- slapped a ban on the bawdy behaviour which caused uproar at last year's party.

The Australian team caused most controversy with its cheeky display.

And it is paying the penalty after being booted out of the November 6-13 tournament, which will feature, among others, the New Zealand All Blacks and defending champions, the Barbarians.

A newcomer to the fray will be South Africa.
