Amos (Canterbury), to represent the Dominion against the Australians in the first of two Tests at Carlaw Park next Saturday. | The Kangaroos will arrive in Auckland to-morrow, and keen interest is being shown in their visit, as it will give an indication to League supporters in the Dominion as to their prospects on their tcur of Great Britain. , The Test team will be selected from the ' following 15 players: — Full-back: S. Watcnc (Manukau). Three-quarters: C. Davison (Christchureh), A. Kay (Ponsonby). R. Cha<=e (Manukau). B. Rilcy (Ponsonby). ix- F x e^i g I' ths ;t,- >S i Bickert °» (Richmond), \\ .

" j Mr. J.Amos has been appointed manager ot the Dominion team. Weil-Balanced Team. The team is well-balanced, and can be relied upon to give a pood account of Hseli against the visitors. Watene has found his way into the team in the role of full-back owing to ihe fact that his dub mate. Jack Hcmi. was injured in la«t week s trial game and is not available, i Always sound he should prove a solid last ; line of defence, although many supporters i of the code were quite expecting to see i Glover, the Marist full-back, or Deirpaev of Newton, given a trial. The three-< quarters are speedy and resourceful and should team well, while there is nip and solidity in the five-eighths line with the Richmond pair. N. Bickerton and W Tittleton together. Halloran has been playing well this season, and his game behind the pack will be watched with I interest. The forwards have plenty of ipace and dash, and should give the Aus'tralians as much as they'receive.
