Sub-unions’ changes

J. Stubbs, an Oxford prop, H. J. Gardner, a Glenmark flanker, and P. Evans, a lock from Culverden, have been brought into the Canterbury sub-unions’ Rugby team for the match against NelsonBays at Motueka tomorrow. Evans, a newcomer to representative football, has been playing well in the Hurunui competition. He has been given a chance because of the unavailability of two of the regular locks, H. H. Macdonald and J. Sowden.

Stubbs replaced his fellowOxford front-row forward, B. A. Thompson, during the Town-Country game on Queen’s Birthday and, with Thompson still injured, Stubbs has retained his place. S. E. G, Cron is still nursing his injured right ankle, and Gardner, who las played for the Sub-unions’ side in 1970, wins a place on the side of the scrum. The sub-unions’ team, after its bold showing against Town, will be favoured to win the Motueka match, for Nelson-Bays was disappointing in its recent games against West Coast and Buller. The sub-unions’ side is:— N. J. Dykes; G. E. Taylpr A. Fraser, G. Ormandy; J. K Taylor, O. D. Bruce (vice-captain); R. Grant; G. B. Henderson: A. J. WylHe (captain), M. R. Pertins, Evans, Gardner; Stubbs, M. C. R> Reserees.—Backs: P. Williams, L. Eari. Forwards: G. Fulton, H. Taylor. D. W. G.
