RUGBY SEASON

TOMORROW'S FINALE

WELLINGTON V. WANGANUI

It is not unusual for a football season to end with a flourish, and the teams for tomorrow's match at Rugby headquarters have the material to produce bright, exhilarating football. In both teams there are players who have figured in New Zealand trials, and it is possible that not a few of them will be under the New Zealand selector's eye next season.
