Sullivan has been appointed captain. Bennett, a coloured live-eighth, is a notable omission, the adniitiistriitors having decided not to risk criticism of bis inclusion. . The forwards are nearly all men of speed and clever handlers who arc good in the loose and in the tight. The weight in the serum compares with previous English sides. Feetham. though considered the most outstanding loose forward in England, was left out because it was thought he is not rugged enough. RESULTS IN ENGLAND London, March 4.
