LIONS XV TODAY
All Blacks No Change (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P A.) NAPIER. The British Lions team to play New Zealand in the third test at Lancaster Park next Saturday will be announced today. There are not expected to be many changes in the side which drew, 11-11, with Hawke’s Bay at Napier on Saturday. The big question being asked is whether the touring skipper, M. J. CampbellLamerton, will play. He stood down in the second test and the lock, W. J. Mcßride, was partnered by W. D. Thomas. These two have proved to be the most efficient line-out unit the Lions can field.
The All Black team, which was announced on Saturday by the chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union, Mr T. C. Morrison, contains no changes from the team that won the first test, 20-3, and the second, 16-12. There has been one change in the reserves. G. K. Kember, who was a reserve for the first test but was not available for the second, comes back in place of the West Coast winger, B. Stack. The team is:— M. Williment: I. S. T. Smith, R. E. Rangi, A G. Steel; I. R. Macßae, M. A. Herewini: C. R. Laidlaw; B. J. Lochore (captain); K. R. Tremain. C. E. Meads, S. T. Meads, W. J. Nathan; K. F. Gray, B. E. McLeod, E. J. Hazlett. Reserves: Backs, G. F. Kember, I. Davis; forwards, P. E. Scott, J. H. Major
