It had been in-"^ timated previously by the chairman of ~ the New Zealand Rugby Union (Mr;S. S. Dean) that his committee agcced '-$? that the playing of The Best v. The ?k Rest would make the most fitting finale^% to the series of trials, and it would also -=>V be a course that would appeal greatly to Rugby followers. Preceding the match, New Zealand v.
