COMBINED TEAM

Duncan In Reserves (From Our Own Reporter) GREYMOUTH, July 21. There is only one change in the Buller-West Coast team to play the Springboks at Rugby Park, Greymouth, on Tuesday to that which met Nelson - Marlborough - Golden Bay-Motueka. W. Duncan has been relegated to the reserves and M. Mcßae, the Harihari representative, comes in as Hanker. O. Nahr has been moved from the flank to lock, where he appeared for Buller last season. The combined team may miss Nahr in the loose, where he has shone this year, probably his best in the last 10 years. There were some weaknesses in the Buller-Coast pack, in spite of its good showing against the North side on Tuesday, but the selectors. Mr R. Dickson (Westport) and Mr R. R. King (Greymouth) have kept the pack almost intact. There is no change in the backline for this second game for the combined team, which is:— Backs: R. Dawe (Buller), R Janies (West Coast). W. Forsyth (Buller). B. Stack (Buller), N Me Ara (West Coast). L. Halsall < Buller), B Johnson (West Coast). Forwards: B. Maughan (West Coast), M. Macßae (West Coast). B. Caidwell (West Coast), 0 Nahr «Buller). G. Wood (Buller). P. Veale (WesJ Coast). B. Roche (Buller). J. Smith (Buller).
