Emergencies; Back, Warwick; forwards, Morton and O'Brien The team leaves on Mondayweek, and plays Taranaki, Auckland and Napier. - The claims of several prominent players were not. considered as they could not obtain leave, and it is believed several of _ those already selected will not be able to get away, It is a good all-round team, the backs beino above Wellington's average, but the forwards, usually- Wellingtons strength, may prove a source of weakness. ■. ■■ :-.-\; -:"!■. ■ "'
