ALL BLACKS.
GREATLY REFRESHED.
Team Selected For The
Rhodesian Match.
LILBURNE AT FIVE-EIGHTH. (Special to Press Association). (Received 11.30 a.m.) VICTORIA FALLS, July 13. The New Zealand team to play Rhodesia on Saturday is:— Full-back: Lindsay. Three-quarters: Robilliard, Lucas, Rushbrook. Five-eighths:.Lilburne, Johnson. Half-back: Dallev. Wing-forward: Scrimshaw. Hookers: Hore, Swain. Lock: Alley. Middle Row: Brownlie, Brownlie. Back Row: Snow, Hazlett. Members of the team stated that they feel wonderfully refreshed by the stay at Victoria Falls. Although selected as full-back for the New Zealand team, Lilburne has had a deal of experience as tive-eightli in Christchurch club matches, and good judges have preferred him to McGregor in that position. In a tour punctuated by experiments by the All Blacks, this comes as another re-arrangement which was unforseen. We have yet to see Sheen tried out at five-eighth, a position in which he has represented Auckland, though Rushbrook, the Wellington wing-threequarter, has been given preference in this respect. Apparently the intention of the selectors is to use McGregor as reserve half-back now that Kilby is out of action.
