Europe tour next
By
KEVIN McMENAMIN
Now that the Springboks have left New Zealand, the All Blacks will be thinking of their tour next month of Rumania and France. The 26 players for this trip will be named next Saturday. The only problem the selectors are likely to have is
in finding a third lock, although there is an outside chance that Graeme Higginson, who broke a bone in theankle on the eve of the second Springbok test in Wellington three weeks ago, may recover in time. Higginson is likely to have
the plaster cast removed this week and it will then be a matter of how well the fracture has mended. The chief All Black selector, Peter Burke, said yesterday that he and his associates had not given up on Higginson.
