LAST BUT ONE.
HARD MATCH EXPECTED. AGAINST LONDON COUNTIES. AIX BLACK FIFTEEN CHOSEN. (By Cable.—rrc*s .Association. -Copyright.) (Received 2 p.m.) LOXDOX, December -?.6. The All Blacks' team for the match against London is as follows: — Fullback: Xcpia. Throe-quarter?: Svcnson, Cooke, Steel. Five-eighths: Nicholls, McGregor. Rover: Parker. Half: Mill. Forwards: Irvine, Donald, Masters, Brownlie (2), Cupples and. Richardson. The team is in excellent fettle, except Stewart, who has a slight quinsy. The members have received shoals of messages from New Zealand wishing them success. Many are of opinion that to-morrow's match will be equally as hard as that against England. The ground at Blackheath holds only 20,000, and a huge crush is expected. After the match the team returns to Deal to complete its preparation for the international game on the following Saturday.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
