Injuries to thelocks Alastair Robinson and Gary Braid have delayed the choice of the All Black team to play Scotland at Murrayfield on Saturday. Mr Bryce Rope, the All Black coach had hoped to name the team last evening but because of the injuries will delay the choice until later this morning. “Both locks say they are fit, but just in case they are hiding theWinjureis I want to put them/Xhrough fitness tests to
see whether they can be considered for the test,” he said. “Even after losing to Midlands I am still confident this .All Black side can beat Scotland. “I thing it was Graham Mourie who said that an All Black team does not start to play really well on tour until it has .had a loss. “The loss to Midlands will shakke the team into life and might be just the thing we needed-ito bring us to tonform.” ? i
