This should provo a very Seating match. Though Frankly*.were beaten by Wairoa, and Wairoa by Auckland, the difference in the scores was very small in each instance, and hardly »uffi«enb bo warrant bhe anbicipation -hat the game will be anything bub an evenly and stubbornly contested one. Moreover, several of the besb men in bhe Auckland team, including some of those, who were principally responsible for Waikato s easy defeat lasb Saburday week, are unable to geb away, while the Franklyn Union are pubtine iuto tbe field a very strong fifteen. The teams will be as follows :— Auckland: Smith, Roberts, Warnock, Siddle, Ramsay, Gillespie, W. Geard, Freeman, McConnell, Williamson, Hogan, Eaton, M. Braeri, sterling, Gallagher. Emergency: McPhail. Franklin: Pyke, Jamieson, Cranston, McGough. Roulston, Blako. Graham, E. McKean, Jack McKean, McElwain, J. McKean, W. Luke, Dalton, J. Kennelly, J. Luke. There is some doubt as to whether Elliott and one or two others will be able bo geb away. When the beam arrives from tho South tonight, an effort, wo understand, will bo therefore made to geb some of bhe members to accompany the above team to Pnkekoho,
