JUST AS GOOD
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.") AUCKLAND, This Day. "There is no reason why the All Blacks for Sou'h Africa sould not be as good as the New Zealand team that toured the United Kingdom and France with an unbeaten record," declared Mr. E. M'Kenzie, chairman of the New Zealand selectors, to-day. "The standard of football in the Dominion is quite as good as in. 1924. Those players who were in the 1924 New Zealand side are now playing as well as and in many cases better than they were on the Home tour. Judging from the standard I have seen so far | the New Zealand team should be a firstclass one." Mr. M'Kenzie considered that a fine side should be turned out for the match against the South Island at Wellington next Saturday. The team will be picked after the North Island PossiblesProbables match at Palmerston North next "Wednesday, and announced that night. The North Island Possibles and Probables teams will bo chosen after the trial at Eden Park to-morrow.
