RUGBY FOOTBALL.
THE FINAL TEST MATCH. THE NEW ZEALAND TEAM. (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The final Test match between New Zealand and the New South Wales team will be played at Lancaster Park to-morrow. New Zealand won the first two Tests, but both by narrow margins, and there seems every prospect of New South Wales being victorious in the third BTnd final Test. Apart from their chances of winning, the visitors should prove a big draw, for they play a bright and open style of football. If the ground and weather conditions are favourable, the game should provide a bright exhibition of the code. The New Zealand team -was picked last night, except for the fact that there was a doubt about one of the wing three-quarter positions and also about the first five-eighths' position. The New South Wales team will not ho selected until after practice at Lancaster Park this morning. The follow-
ing is the New Zealand team so far as it has been selected: —
Full-back. C. Mehrtens (Canterbury). Three-quarters. Maekay (Wellington), L. Hook (Auckland), and W. G. McClymont (Otago) or F. Snodgrass (Nelson). Five-eighths.
