B. A. Hunter, the All Black and Otago wing three-quarter, will be available for selection for the fourth and final test against the Lions in Auckland on Saturday week. Hunter was bright and breezy after his overnight stay in Oamaru Public Hospital. He was admitted for observation with concussion after a heavy smack ia the face from a rebounding ball nine minutes after the start of the Otago-North Otago match on Wednesday. Hunter showed little signs of injury apart from a bruised left eye and a small cut on a slightly swollen nose. He discounted earlier reports of a broken nose and a hairline fracture of the skull. He said he felt fit. Hunter left the field with a badly bleeding nose. He said yesterday he could not remember what had happened. He plans to rest for a couple of days at his Oamaru home before going back to Dunedin. He was undecided whether he would go to Invercargill to watch Otago play Southland on Saturday.
