KIWIS' MATCHES

TEAM TO PLAY LONDON

: LONDON, December 18. : The N.Z.E.F. team to meet London - at the White City on Saturday is as follows:—Cook; Argus, Smith, Sherratt; Allen (captain), Kearney; Proctor; Rhind. Haigh, Bond, Grant, Woolley. Johnstone, Arnold, Thornton. Two interesting experiments are the Playing of-Allen at second five-eighth . with Kearney, and the trial of Proctor [■ at half, in which position he has had » experience in New Zealand. Another half is needed because Saxton's ! shoulder is taking much longer in , clearing up than was expected, though i it is still hoped that he will be fit for the Wales match on January 5. Arrangements have now been completed for four matches on the Continent. The team leaves England about March 6 for games against France at Paris on March 9 or 10, British Army of Occupation at Brussels on March--13, British Army again at Wiipperi tal on March 16. and against a trench side at Toulouse or Bordeaux on March 23 or 24. L ~ Irish people are very keen to see the ■ Kiwis again, and the probability is that if shipping arrangements permit the team will again visit Ireland after the Continental tour and play Munster and Ireland.
