LONDON, November 26.
In Saturday's Rugby football Test match at Murrayfield, J. Hore, one of the New Zealand front-row forwards, received a badly fractured bone in his right hand, which"will be in plaster for three weeks. The doctor who examined him during the game said that he could not continue playing, but Hore replied, "Try to stop me."
The New Zealand team is fortunate in having Pepper to replace Hore in front row, as Pepper narrowly missed selection against Scotland. Griffiths, Lambourn, and Dalton received slight injuries. Collins is unlikely to play again on the tour, as he is suffering from a strained heart, and has been advised to have absolute rest for at least a week. PLAYERS HOMESICK. The team has been delighted by the many congratulatory cables received from New Zealand regarding the Scottish victory. Several players are slightly homesick in view of Christmas approaching. Most of them are feeling the effects of strenuous football, and will in some respects be glad when the tour has ended.
The players emphasise the fact that the critics have at last realised that Mr. Meredith has been responsible for moulding the tourists into a fine combination.
. Great interest attaches to Page's reappearance, and he may yet play himself into the international sides.
