TWO KIWIS INCLUDED

Maoris Have Strong Side With two Kiwis. P. M. White and J. L. White, and the South Island representative, M. H. Mohi, included in the team, the Canterbury Maoris should have little difficulty in beating the Canterbury Rugby League senior reserve team at the Show Grounds tomorrow. P. M. White and Mohi both played well in the inter-island match last week and their strong running should give the Maoris plenty of forward penetration. The match will be preceded by a curtain-raiser between the Canterbury under-16 and under-15 teams. The under--15 team is using the game in preparation for the schoolboys’ tournament next month, j Three schoolboy representative matches will also be played. The under-14 and under--12 teams will play West Coast, while the under-8 team, which will later travel to Auckland, will play North Canterbury.

Cody, has been appointed commentator to cover the forthcoming New Zealand Rugby League tour of Britain and France.
