ALL BLACKS.
FOURTEENTH GAME. Team For Match Against Orange Free State. SHEEN GETS A PLACE. (Special to Press Association.) (Received 9.30 a.m.) BLOEMFONTEIN, July 27. The New Zealand team for the match to-morrow against Orange Free State is:— Full-back: Lilburne. Three-quarters: Rushbrook, Sheen, Lucas. Five-eighths: Johnson, Strang. Half-back: Dalley. Rover: Scrimshaw. Front row: Hore, Swain. Middle row: M. Brownlie, Alley, C. Brownlie. Back row: Ward, Snow. Sheen was originally chosen as first five-eighths, but goes to centre ""because Carleton is suffering from an injured muscle. Johnson takes first five-eighths position. The team is a strong one, and should put up a good showing. There are likely to be six changes in the team which represented Orange Free State last time the All Blacks met them, when New Zealand won by 20 to 0, and the match should be a much closer game.
