NEW LEADER
Aged only 23, MidCanterbury Rugby’s new captain, A. F. Cornelius, has gone a long way in the sport in a short time. Cornelius first played in 1961, aged only 19, and has since played 39 games for Mid-Canter-bury.
He played for the combined team against the Springboks, toured Australia with the New Zealand Colts team last season, and was a South Island trialist this year.
A side-row forward, Cornelius is fast and an enthusiastic tackler. Although a quiet personality, he should develop into a fine leader.
