Canty near full strength
The Canterbury rugby team will be close to full strength for its National Mutual first division jnatch against Wairarapa Bush at Lancaster Park tomorrow.
Six of the All Blacks who toured South Africa in April and May have been included , and it will be the first time this year that the top backs of the last three years have been together in the side. Two forwards. Dale
Atkins and Don Hayes, are in doubt. Atkins broke the stitches in a leg injury when playing for his club on Saturday and Hayes has a badly gashed knee. The selector, Alex Wyllie, must think that one of the two will be fit enough to play as he has bracketed Grant Mickell with each of them. Joe Leota and Chris Earl, who returned on Sunday from their tour with the New Zealand
Emerging Players, were not considered because of injuries.
The team is: Robbie Deans; Roger Kilpatrick, Victor Simpson, Craig Green; Warwick Taylor, Stephen Bachop; Bruce Deans; Atkins or Mickell; Jock Hobbs, Andy Earle, Albert Anderson, Hayes or Mickell; Tala Kele, John Buchan, Murray Davie. Reserves: Allan Lindsay, Steve Hansen, James Leggat; Tony Thorpe, Brent Harvey, Phil Cropper. .
