FIJIAN FOOTBALLERS SHOW THEIR PROWESS.—Photographs of yesterday’s match between Fiji and Mid-Canterbury in Ashburton. Fiji won by 16 points to 9. (1) The Fijian version of the haka reaches its climax. (2) Isikeli Cawa, one of the Fijian locks, seems unperturbed by a Mid-Canterbury player’s grasp as he breaks away from a ruck. On the left is Paula Nyacakalao, a breakaway, and
coming out of the ruck to lend support is the captain, Sanaili Sautu. (3) Baniua Tanivukavu, Fiji’s right wing-three-quarters, dashing past his opposite number, A. Smith. (4) The Fijian full-back, Nacanieli Uluiviti, jumps over the MidCanterbury half-back, S. Williams, while in pursuit of the ball.
